Ingredients
- 6 cube steaks — The main protein that becomes tender during slow cooking
- 1/2 can water (using the soup can) — Helps create the perfect gravy consistency
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix — Adds deep, savory flavor
- 1 can cream of celery soup — Creates a creamy, flavorful gravy
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper — Adds mild seasoning and balance
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crock-Pot
Place the cube steaks in the bottom of your Crock-Pot in a single layer. If needed, slightly overlap them to fit.
Step 2: Mix the Gravy
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of celery soup, 1/2 can of water, Lipton Onion Soup Mix, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Pour Over the Steaks
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the cube steaks, making sure all the meat is well covered with the gravy mixture.
Step 4: Slow Cook
Cover the Crock-Pot with the lid and cook:
- On Low: 6-8 hours
- On High: 3-4 hours
The cube steaks are done when they are tender and easily cut with a fork.
Step 5: Serve
Once cooked, serve the cube steaks with the rich gravy spooned over the top.
