Cube Steak With Buttered Mushrooms and Onions Recipe
The Crockpot truly is the BEST way to cook cube steak. I’ll show you how to turn an average cube steak into a tender and extremely flavorful meal with this easy slow cooker cube steak recipe.
When I was younger, I always thought it was so funny how my then boyfriend’s mother would religiously make Cube Steak for dinner. Like clockwork, each week he would enjoy his cube steak which was slow cooked in their retro crockpot for a whopping 8 hours.
His mother would serve it over fresh garlic mashed potatoes. He always would invite me to try it, but it honestly never seemed appealing to me.
I wondered, “What the heck is cube steak?”
I imagined it to be little cubes of meat in some sort of gravy. Truth be told, at the age of 15, I had no idea what a slow cooker was either? My mom never, ever used one, but I do remember my then boyfriend (now husband’s) mom had a little vintage orange model with flowers and mushrooms on it. It looked as if she stole the prop right out of the Brady Brunch house. I will never forget that thing. It was like a magical little pot that could make even the roughest cut of meat tender.
A little over 15 years later, and I now not only know what a slow cooker is, I own one! I love my slow cooker so much and use it at least weekly. It is an original “instant pot” if you will and can do so much! It even can turn rough, lackluster cube steak into only the most flavorful and tasty meal–ever!!
Slow Cooker Cube Steak (With Buttered Mushrooms and Onions) is such a yummy recipe that I winged one day. I was at the market and was so upset that the roast beef cut I wanted was $26. Instead, I settled for $6 cube steak and hoped for the best. Then, I remembered how much my husband ate this meal as a kid.

Loved this recipe. I did use a huge onion. Put some onions on the bottom then the steaks and onions on top. I mixed the onion soup mix with the beef broth then pored over then put the butter on top. The house smelled really good while it cooked. Next time I will add more mushrooms because we love them and the small amount was just not enough by the time they cooked. Will make again.
Hi, I cannot confidently provide a time, however, I would check it after 90 minutes to 2 hours.
This sounds good! I’m guessing it is 8 hours on low, do you know how long it would take on high?
This looks really good! My family loves mushroom so I am sure they’ll love this!
Oh I will be giving this a try next week when we are back at school and work! I love easy, hearty recipes like this!
I love set it and forget it meals…and it’s the perfect time of year to do that. This sounds like a great recipe.
Slow cooking really does a great job with dishes like the delicious-looking dish you prepared. I can almost taste those juicy mushrooms and onions now.
I would have never thought to do this in a slow cooker. Great idea! We love slow cooker recipes this time of year!
Yes! I need this in my life! It’s a slow cooker recipe, so it’s easy. AND nothing is better than steak and mushrooms with onion. Om nom nom.
