Slow Cooker Cube Steak

AKA "Country Style Steak"

My dad will be so excited. This is one of his favorite meals~I never understood why until I started cooking it in a crock pot. It was so easy that it's hard not to love. 

Now, of course you can "Southern" it up by making your own heavy gravy and deep frying your steak in oil and grease (not that there's anything wrong with that), but I prefer mine on the lighter side. 

Either way you fry it, it's fantastic. 

This is not one of the meals I'd recommend freezing ahead of time. After you brown it, it needs to immediately start cooking. Otherwise, it will turn to mush. And no one likes cooked mush. 


The Ingredients:

1 lb. cube steak
flour for breading (I added salt, pepper, garlic salt, and some fresh herbs to mine)
3 C water
3 envelopes of beef gravy (or you can make your own)
3 T oil
1 C mushrooms


How To:

Roll cube steak in flour mixture. Place oil in a pan for frying. 

Turn the heat up to high and sear both sides of the steaks. (You don't have to cook it through)

Place into a crock pot with the mushrooms. 

Cover with water and cook on low for 8 hours. 

1/2 hour before serving, mix the gravy. Pour over the meat and let cook another 30 minutes. 

Serve with mashed potatoes for a truly Southern Meal ;)
