Cubed steak and gravy

Growing up, my mom would make this cubed steak and gravy dish for dinner. She throws the cube steak in a slow cooker and covers it in gravy. It always came out so well.

Cubed steak and gravy was one of my mom’s budget meals. At the grocery store, you could always get a cube steak very cheap.

Smothered steak

What is a smothered steak? A smothered steak means it is just drenched in a thick sauce. In this case, the smothered steak is cube steak and gravy.

I wanted to more than just have a smothered steak in gravy. I decided to let’s add in some sautéed mushrooms and onions as well.

Sautéed onions and mushrooms

In my household sautéed onions and mushrooms always accompanied steak. So adding in the mushrooms and onions to this easy cube steak recipe was a must for me.

Just because you on a budget doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice flavor. The sautéed onions and mushrooms add flavor to this cube steak in the slow cooker.

Cube steak in slow cooker

One reason I decided to make a cube steak in slow cooker is that the slow cooker makes the smothered steak tender. If you fry the steak it could be tough.

However, cooking this smothered steak on low all day in the slow cooker results in a tender cube steak. Plus a slow cooker makes this an easy cube steak recipe. As said many times in my slow cooker recipes, it is a dump and forgets about it! You can’t get any easier than that!
