Preparation
What cut of steak for crockpot cube steak with gravy?
Cube steak (also sometimes called minute steak) is a cut of pre-tenderized beef that typically come from the rump or hind quarter of the cow.
Due to the mechanical pre-tenderization and similar packaging, cube steak looks a lot like ground beef at the market.
Can I use pork or chicken?
Absolutely, this recipe would be delicious made with chicken breast, chicken thighs, pork shoulder steaks, or sliced pork loin.
Do I have to sear the meat first?
It is not necessary to sear the steak before adding it to the slow cooker.
Leftovers and storage
How long does leftover cube steak last?
Leftovers will keep 3 – 4 days in the refrigerator or longer in the freezer.
Can you freeze this recipe?
Yes, allow it to come to room temperature then store in a freezer safe air-tight container.
How to reheat?
The easiest way to reheat is in the microwave, but you could also reheat in the slow cooker or instant pot if you prefer.
If reheating in the instant pot, make sure there is enough liquid to avoid a burn error.
Tips, tricks, and frequently asked questions
✅ Serve over your favorite starch like instant pot rice, baked potatoes, or cauliflower rice.
✅ Cook potatoes directly in the pot with the meat and gravy.
✅ Add veggies like green beans, broccoli, bell peppers, water chestnuts, green beans, or sugar snap peas (do this 15 – 30 minutes before the end of your cook time so they’re not mushy).
✅ Make it spicy with pickled jalapenos or red pepper flakes.
