No reviews

Slow-cooked beef cube steaks simmered with onions, mushrooms, and a savory mushroom-onion gravy enriched with cream. This hands-off crock pot recipe transforms an inexpensive cut into a hearty, tender family dinner.

  • Total Time: 6 hours 10 minutes (Low) or 3 hours 10 minutes (High)
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

4 cube steaks (about 1 1/2 pounds)

1 tbsp Montreal steak seasoning

2 tbsp cooking oil (canola or avocado)

2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced

8 oz white or cremini mushrooms, sliced

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

2 cups beef broth (low-sodium preferred)

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Spray or line the inside of the slow cooker. Place cube steaks in the bottom and season with Montreal steak seasoning.
  2. In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté onions and mushrooms until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle flour and remaining seasoning over the onion-mushroom mixture. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring.
  4. Slowly add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, deglazing the skillet and stirring until smooth to form the gravy base.
  5. Pour the mushroom-onion gravy over the steaks in the crock pot.
  6. Cover and cook on Low for 6–7 hours or on High for 3–4 hours until steaks are fork-tender.
  7. Remove steaks and stir heavy cream into the gravy until thickened. Return steaks to coat or serve with gravy on top.

Notes

For a spice alternative, replace Montreal seasoning with onion soup mix or a homemade blend of garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, onion powder, and pepper.

Add potatoes, carrots, or celery during the final hour for a one-pot meal.

For extra heat, stir in a few dashes of hot sauce.

Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or rolls for a complete meal.
