Ingredients
For the Casserole:
-
4 cube steaks (about 1 lb)
-
1 packet onion soup mix (or 1/2 cup homemade onion soup mix)

1/2 cup beef broth (or water)
-
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for browning, optional)
Instructions
-
Brown the Cube Steaks (Optional but Recommended): Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season cube steaks with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Brown each side for 2-3 minutes to enhance flavor and color. This step can be skipped but adds extra depth to the dish.
-
Prepare the Crock Pot: Place browned cube steaks in the bottom of your Crock Pot. In a bowl, mix onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
-
Slow Cook: Pour the soup mixture over the cube steaks. Stir to coat evenly. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the steak is tender and the gravy is thickened.
-
Serve: Once the cube steaks are tender, give the gravy a quick stir. Serve the cube steaks and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles for a complete meal.
