🛒 Ingredients

• 4–6 cubed steaks (about 1.5 to 2 lbs total)
• 1 packet brown gravy mix
• 1 packet onion soup mix (or mushroom gravy mix for variation)
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
• 1/2 cup water or beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional, for extra flavor)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Optional: sliced onions or mushrooms for added texture

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Gravy Mixture

In a bowl, mix together the gravy packet, onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, and water or broth. Stir in Worcestershire sauce if using. This will be your flavorful gravy base.

2. Layer in the Slow Cooker

Spray the bottom of your slow cooker with nonstick spray (or lightly grease).
Place half of the cubed steak on the bottom.
Pour half of the gravy mixture over the meat.
Repeat with the remaining steak and gravy.

Optional: Add sliced onions or mushrooms between the layers for even more flavor.

3. Cook Low and Slow

Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 4 hours, until the meat is fork-tender and the gravy has thickened.

4. Serve

Serve hot, spooning extra gravy over the top. It’s fantastic over:

• Mashed potatoes
• Rice
• Egg noodles
• Or with crusty bread to soak up all that savory sauce
