Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the cube steaks in olive oil.
- Place the steaks in the crock pot.
- Add the cream of celery soup and water as directed on the can.
- Add the onion soup mix and stir to combine.
- Cook on low for about 4 hours until tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider marinating the cube steaks in a mixture of soy sauce and garlic for an hour before browning. If you don't have cream of celery soup, cream of mushroom works well as a substitute. To thicken the sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little cold water and stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cube steaks over creamy mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious sauce. Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. For a comforting twist, consider serving with Potato Salad From Grandma Noyes, which complements the dish nicely.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover cube steaks can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steaks in a skillet with a splash of broth or water, cover, and heat over low until warmed through. You can also microwave them with a damp paper towel to keep them moist.
