Crock Pot Saucy Cube Steak

I like beef. It makes me happy. Actually, I just like meat. Meat makes me happy. Cube steak? That’s meat…and it makes me happy. I love meat. I especially crave meat when pregnant or nursing. MEAT! It’s what’s for dinner. Ummmmm, meat.

I have this thing for Salisbury Steak too. My Mama’s recipe is rockin’, but sometimes a girl needs to get her gravy on. Can I get a witness?! Beef and gravy together? That’s true love. Gravy love! My gravy love! I need ya, oh how I need ya, love!

This recipe is a different take on my Chicken Fried Steak…which just so happens to be an older recipe on the blog so it has canned cream-of soup in it – before I got religion…I mean, before I learned about MSG. HA! Okay, that was funny, y’all.

This Crockpot Saucy Cube Steak will melt in your mouth! Add it to your meal plan for an easy weeknight dinner!

Cube steak holds a special place in my heart. It’s tender. When cooked right, it just falls apart and melts in your mouth. Are you slobbering yet? I am. MEAT! It’s so good it doesn’t require chewing…and after a long day, I don’t have much time for chewing. Unless it involves chocolate…or peanut butter – then I can totally chew.

I used beef…but I think I’ve seen pork cube steak too. That would work. I love pigs too. They’re just so stinkin’ cute – and delicious. Just don’t use tofu. No tofu here. Thanks.

I’m in a rare mood, can you tell? I’m going to stop here and give you the recipe before I say something dumb and make a zillion people angry. Amen.

    I actually just made this and somehow it was a lil too salty. But tender. Will make again, but will tone down the sodium. Thank you for the recipe.

    Ok.. I just have to say… My friends in high school called my dad The Meat Man. We also had a picture hanging in our guest bathroom of cubed steak on a skewer and it said “Beef, It’s what’s for Dinner.” 🙂 Ok, just had to live those memories on your blog.

    This looks yummy! Another commenter mentioned not having to brown the steaks. I’m w/you both & HATE this step (ain’t nobody got time for that!). Because you’re skipping that step, is the meat still pink or does it brown in the crock pot? Not sure my hubs would eat the meat w/the gravy on top so if it isn’t done looking I know he won’t touch it.

      No – it’s not still pink. I can’t eat meat that’s not well done. It makes me wanna yak. LOL

        Say Whaaa? You need to come to my house and eat you some steak from the back yard. Ok, my daddy’s backyard. It is so so so so so delicious but it totally ruins it if you cook it well done. My daddy will NOT cook a steak well done. I don’t care who is over for dinner. He won’t do it. 🙂

    ALSO, is there enough gravy to serve with mashed potatoes? If not, what do you usually serve with this?

      March 1, 2013 at 12:02 pm

      Yes, there is plenty for mashed potatoes. 🙂 I just served the gravy over the meat. It would be good with noodles too.

    How long does it take the gravy to thicken? Do you leave the crockpot on low or turn it up to high?

      March 1, 2013 at 12:02 pm

      Not long at all. I left it on low and just put the lid on. Like maybe 10 minutes? I think it would vary based on the heat of the crock…some are hotter than others. 🙂

    FINALLY!!! A crockpot cube steak receipe that does not require browning before putting it in. Maybe I am lazy but having to pull out my frying pan and browning before it gets in the crockpot is just wrong. This is on the menu for next week. Thanks so much, Stacy.

    Butcher shops actually have a machine (it looks sort of like a toaster) that you drop the pieces of steak (a less tender cut, like round steak) into the slot and then it is scored or cut by small blades and comes out at the bottom. The scoring cuts the connective tissue and helps tenderize the meat. As Stacy mentioned pounding also helps with tenderization and shortens the cooking time.

    Man in America they have soooo much more options than lil old new Zealand! WHAT is cube steak?
    It looks a little like mince….. Well I mean ground beef to you guys?
    Would I give my butcher some special instructions to make it up ? It sounds great tho. I need need need need to only ever have crockpot dinners or there might never BE dinner around here., so glad you are sending these 🙂

      Well, it’s also called Tenderized Steak and Minute Steak. I think it’s just pieces of beef that are really thin and have been pounded so they’re very tender. You could make it yourself by pounding some thin steak with a meat mallet. 🙂 Enjoy!!!

      Its round steak cut very thin, half inch. The butcher runs it through a special machine to tenderize it. You can get do it yourself with a thin piece of round steak and a mallet!

      This recipe looks awesome!
