Mushroom Crock Pot Cube Steak & Gravy: A Hearty, Tender Meal with Rich Flavor

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the cube steaks with garlic powder and black pepper on both sides.
Sear the cube steaks in the hot skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side, just enough to brown them. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Gravy:

In a medium bowl, combine the onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce (if using). Stir until well combined.
Assemble in the Crock Pot:

Place the seared cube steaks in the bottom of your crockpot.
Pour the mushroom gravy mixture over the steaks, ensuring they are well-coated.
Add the sliced mushrooms on top of the gravy mixture.
Cook:

Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the cube steaks are tender and the gravy has thickened.
Serve:

Once cooked, remove the cube steaks and place them on serving plates.
Pour the rich mushroom gravy over the steaks.
Serve with your choice of mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, and enjoy the hearty, flavorful dish!
