What is cube steak?

This is a type of beef that has been pounded with a meat tenderizer. It is normally top sirloin or top round.

Will steak get tender in crock pot?

Yes! The cube steak is incredibly tender from being slow cooked all day. It is actually my favorite way to cook this type of meat.

The meat is so tender that you can cut it with a fork.

Ingredients:

  • Cube Steak
  • Onion soup mix (try Homemade Onion Soup Mix)
  • cream of mushroom soup
  • beef broth
  • egg noodles
  • water
  • Cornstarch

How to make Crock pot Cube Steak:

First, place the cube steak in the crock pot. I love the Ninja cooking system because you can brown the meat right in the crock pot for recipes that call for that.

Add the onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup and beef broth over the meat.

Second, just let the slow cooker do the work. I prefer to cook it on low for 6 to 8 hours. However, you can cook it on high if you don’t have much time for 3 to 4 hours.

Finally, about an hour before you plan to serve, combine the water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Once this is mixed together really good, pour into the crock pot on the high setting. It will thicken the sauce and be perfect when it is time to eat.

FAQs

How do you cook cube steak so it's tender? ›

I browned the cube steaks with less oil, used beef stock instead of water, and simmered covered for nearly an hour. They were so tender that you easily could cut them with a fork, a nice sauce developed, no need to make milk gravy.

Should cube steak be rinsed before cooking? ›

No need to rinse it before cooking if you're not adding any batter or breading to the surface. Keep the temperature relatively low and cook the meat slowly, setting aside 1.5 to 2 hours for the entire process. Rushing the cube steak with higher heat will only toughen it.

How do you thicken gravy in a crock pot? ›

Make a slurry.

Scoop out a bit of the cooking liquid, whisk in some flour, then whisk this slurry back into your pot and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens and the taste of raw flour is gone. You will need about 2 tablespoons of flour per cup of liquid in your recipe.

Why do you soak cube steak in milk? ›

It's milk. Here's why:

A steak that marinates in an acidic or enzymatic liquid too long, such as citrus juice or cola, becomes tough or mushy. But the acid in milk is so mild that you can soak beef in it long enough to tenderize it effectively, without damaging the proteins on the surface.

How long does it take for beef cubes to get tender? ›

The key to tender beef cubes is letting them cook and simmer on the stove for over an hour. On the other hand, if you want to take it one step further, you can always let it cook inside the slow cooker. So, if you choose this method, you must leave the beef for six to eight hours.

Can you overcook cube steak? ›

It comes from the round area of the animal, so it's highly exercised and, therefore, can be tough. It's important to cook cube steak quickly over direct heat or slowly over indirect heat to prevent it from overcooking and becoming chewy.

How do you make cube steak not chewy? ›

Tenderize Cube Steak By Slicing It Against The Grain

Cutting the cube steak into thin slices against the grain (perpendicular to the muscle fibers) can help to break down the tough fibers and make the meat easier to chew. This is particularly useful when using cube steak in dishes like stir-fries or fajitas.

How do you tenderize beef cubes quickly? ›

You can velvet meat and make it melt-in-your-mouth tender by quickly tossing chunks of beef or chicken in about ¾ tsp of baking soda for about 15 minutes before your next stir fry, then rinse and pat the meat dry before putting in the pan.

Can cube steak be overcooked? ›

Don't overcook the steak if using a higher-heat cooking method. Keep it medium to medium well inside when grilling or smoking. Serve fried Cube steaks fresh out of the pan so they're crispy. This particular method of cooking requires good timing, while smothered steaks tend to stay just as tasty when reheated.
