4beef cube steaks(fully thawed if frozen), beef chuck or round steak also work
1largeonionthinly sliced
2packetsgravy mix(beef flavor)
1cancream of mushroom soup(10.5 oz.)
1canwater(10.5 oz.)
salt and pepperto taste
fresh parsleychopped, for garnish
Instructions
Warm olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Swirl to coat, then brown the cube steaks on both sides to add flavor and texture. Transfer browned steaks to a 6 quart crockpot.
Place the thinly sliced onion on top of the steaks.
In a mixing bowl, add the beef gravy packets and cream of mushroom soup. Fill the empty soup can to the top with water and add that in along with some salt and pepper, to taste. Stir until well combined, then pour the gravy mixture over the steaks and onions, ensuring the steaks are fully covered.
Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours, or until the steaks are tender and the flavors blend together.
Once cooked, carefully remove the steaks from the crockpot. (If the gravy needs thickening, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water to make a slurry, then stir it into the crockpot. Cook on high with the lid off for a few minutes or until the gravy thickens.)
Serve the cube steaks hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy over mashed potatoes and corn.
