Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Seasoning

  • 1.5 lbs cube steak
  • 1 package onion soup mix (1 ounce)

Gravy and Broth

  • 2 cans cream of mushroom soup (10.5 ounces each)
  • 1 cup beef broth

Noodles and Thickening

  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the slow cooker: Place the cube steak, onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, and beef broth into a 6-quart crock pot, spreading everything evenly for consistent cooking.
  2. Slow cook the beef: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the cube steak becomes tender and infused with the savory gravy flavors.
  3. Make the cornstarch slurry: Approximately 1 hour before serving, mix together the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth; this mixture will thicken the gravy.
  4. Thicken the gravy: Stir the cornstarch slurry into the crock pot, increase the heat to high, and cook uncovered for an additional hour, allowing the gravy to thicken to a rich consistency.
  5. Cook the egg noodles: While the gravy thickens, prepare the egg noodles by boiling them according to the package instructions until tender, then drain.
  6. Serve: Spoon the tender cube steak and thickened mushroom gravy over the cooked egg noodles and enjoy a warm, comforting meal.

Notes

  • For thicker gravy, let it cook uncovered for the full hour after adding the cornstarch slurry.
  • You can substitute egg noodles with mashed potatoes or rice if preferred.
  • Adjust seasoning by adding salt and pepper to taste if needed, as the onion soup mix is already seasoned.
  • If using smaller slow cookers, adjust the recipe quantities accordingly.
