Crock Pot Cubed Steak with Gravy is an easy and delicious slow cooker recipe perfect for a no-fuss weeknight dinner. The cubed steaks become incredibly tender as they cook low and slow in a savory gravy made from cream of chicken soup, French onion soup, and au jus gravy mix. Finished with a simple cornstarch slurry to thicken the gravy, this meal is hearty, comforting, and melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Steak and Gravy Ingredients

  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of chicken soup (use low or no sodium if preferred)
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can French onion soup (use low or no sodium if preferred)
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • ½ cup water
  • 4 cubed steaks

For Thickening Gravy

  • 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 Tablespoons cold water

Instructions

  1. Prepare Gravy Mixture: In the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker, combine the cream of chicken soup, French onion soup, au jus gravy mix, and ½ cup water. Stir well to create a smooth mixture.
  2. Add Steaks: Place the 4 cubed steaks directly into the gravy mixture, ensuring each steak is well coated by the sauce.
  3. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on the low setting for 6 to 8 hours. Avoid cooking on high to prevent dryness and maintain tenderness.
  4. Thicken Gravy: About 30 minutes before serving, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Stir this mixture into the crock pot, mixing evenly with the gravy and cubed steaks.
  5. Final Cooking: Change the slow cooker setting to high and cook for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the gravy to thicken nicely.
  6. Serve: Once the gravy has thickened, serve the tender cubed steaks hot, spooned with the rich gravy.

Notes

  • Use low or no sodium soup options to manage sodium levels in the dish.
  • Do not cook the steaks on the high setting for the entire time, as this can make them tough.
  • You can stir the cornstarch slurry directly into the crock pot with the steaks inside for ease.
  • For a gluten-free version, verify that all canned soups and gravy mix are gluten-free or substitute accordingly.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
