Let’s get our ingredients ready and start preparing this delicious Crock Pot Cube Steak!
Directions:
Get the Cube Steaks ready: Combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Shake off any extra seasoned flour after coating each cube steak.
Sear the steaks. Heat the vegetable oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat. Place the coated cube steaks in the skillet and sear them until they are gently browned, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. This process enhances the dish’s flavor and helps to retain the liquids.
Arrange the Crock Pot in Layers: Start with the cut onions at the bottom. Place the seared cube steaks in a single layer over the onions.
Get the sauce ready: Whisk the Worcestershire sauce, dry thyme, and beef broth in a basin. Cover the cube steaks in the crock pot with the sauce.
When cooking in a crock pot, cover it and cook the cube steaks for 6–8 hours on low heat or 3–4 hours on high heat. Cube steaks will be more tender if they are cooked over low heat for a longer period of time.
Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth if you like a richer gravy. In the final half of cooking, stir the cornstarch mixture into the crock pot.
Garnish and serve: The cube steaks should be tasty and tender after the cooking time is over. Before serving, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top if you’d like.
