FAQs & Tips
What is cube steak?
Cube steak is top round or top sirloin that has been tenderized before it’s sold. The tenderizing process leaves small holes in the meat, giving it a “cubed” appearance. Cube steak is cut from a tough portion of beef which makes it a great cut of beef for the low and slow method of the slow cooker.
Do you need to brown the cube steak first?
You do not. Add the cube steaks directly to the slow cooker raw.
Do you have to use the homemade dry onion soup mix?
Nope. Feel free to substitute a store-bought packet. If you do so, this recipe will no longer be paleo or Whole30 compatible and it may not be gluten-free depending on the ingredients in the packet.
Can you double this recipe?
Yes! I made a small batch but you can easily double the recipe and use a larger slow cooker.
Can you add other vegetables to this?
Absolutely. I only added onion. Other suggestions include mushrooms, bell pepper, or frozen peas and carrots.
How do you store leftovers?
Store leftover crockpot cube steak in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
What size slow cooker did you use?
I use small 3.5-quart slow cooker. Feeding a larger crowd? Double the recipe and use a larger 6-quart slow cooker!
