These beef cube steaks cook low and slow in your crockpot. Flavorful gravy uses no onion soup mix!

Tender and perfect beef cube steaks cooked low and slow in the crockpot.

I see a similar recipe for this a lot on my Facebook crock pot group so when I was lucky enough to find a big “family” pack of cube steaks the other day that my store had reduced, I scooped them up and planned to make a slow cooker meal with them.  I might add that any meat I find with a reduction for last-day-of-sale is always top notch, so this is why I buy it!

The standard recipe I always see for this uses dry onion soup mix. I’m really not a big fan of this flavor, and the reason is really bizarre when I think of it.

The thing I don’t like about the soup mix is–and especially using it in a slow cooker–smelling it for hours on end while it cooks. I have no issues with it when it’s used in dips and such, but smelling it for hours cooking is another story. Plus it’s a very dominant flavor/scent that I don’t seem to be able to smell anything else. By the time it comes to eat whatever it is in, I’m sorta “past it” if you know what I mean.

Because of this weird thing of mine, I will try to substitute something else for it–even if it’s beef broth and regular onions.

Here I used regular onions, but I used au jus gravy mix in place of the soup mix. I’m beginning to be a fan of this flavor anytime I’ve used it with beef as a seasoning. I use a lot of gravy mixes as seasonings; rarely use them for their intended purpose!

Since I love mushrooms, I threw in a couple of small cans of button mushrooms I had on hand since I had no fresh. But if you hate mushrooms–and I know many do–just leave them out. It won’t affect the taste.

I made this in my casserole crock pot and that was a perfect use for this as I was able to lay the steaks in virtually a single layer. Also remember that cube steaks shrink–up to one half their original size, so bear that in mind when you are buying them. I had 10 fair-sized raw steaks, but this recipe will feed 4-6, depending on appetite.
