Cube Steak and Mushroom Onion Gravy – fuss-free weeknight dinner featuring budget-friendly tender meaty steaks bathed in a tasty beefy mushroom onion gravy sauce. Your family is going to love this!

Mushroom Onion Gravy

This Cube Steak with Mushroom Onion Gravy is one of those recipes sent from up above to save busy (or not-so-busy) moms. Economical, fuss-free, and super DELICIOUS dinner that you can proudly serve to your family (and even guests) without any judgment.

Why you ask? ‘Cause they’ll be too busy chowing down on this that you won’t hear a single word from them. Oh well, that last part may sound a little exaggerated, but you get my point, right?

What is Cube Steak?

Cube Steak Mushroom Onion Gravy

This delicious Cube Steak with Mushroom Onion Gravy recipe is like a cross-product between this Chicken Fried Steak and Salisbury Steak. It uses the LESS EXPENSIVE cube steak which is a cut of beef – usually, top round or top sirloin – that is tenderized and flattened, although it could get a little bit tough at times, depending on how it’s cooked.

In some parts of the world like Canada, Australia, Ireland, and other parts of the U.S. it’s known as “minute steak” because it can be cooked in just a matter of MINUTES. In fact, this recipe comes together from start to finish in about 20-25 minutes.

How To Tenderize Cube Steak?

Before you sprinkle the meat with any seasoning, you have to tenderize the steaks first using a tenderizing mallet, of course. It typically has a wooden or metal head with a bumpy surface on it which helps tenderizes the meat. Start by covering the meat up in a Ziploc bag or plastic wrap and then pound it thoroughly until you produce those cube-shaped indentations.

How To Cook Cube Steak

Cube Steaks can be cooked in different ways. You can bread and fry them, braise, or saute them. But our favorite way is to cook it in gravy so it won’t dry out. Plus, you don’t want to miss the chance of covering your warm rice or mashed potatoes with a heaping serving of this gravy. Yummm!

Can I Use Chicken Instead?

I don’t see why it won’t work. Try using the boneless and skinless ones and proceed as per the directions below.

Can I Cook Them In The Crockpot?

Yes, you can. Start off with sauteing the mushrooms and onions along with the spices and seasonings for 2-3 minutes. Then pour it into the crockpot, followed by the cube steak and then the prepared gravy mixture. Cook it on low for 4-6 hours. If you want the sauce thicker, just whisk 3 tbsps of cornstarch and 3 tbsps of cold water in a small bowl. Add it into the crockpot and turn the setting to high and cook for another 30 minutes or until gravy is thickened.

What Can I Serve With Cube Steak with Mushroom Onion Gravy?

Oh gosh, writing this blog post is making me crave some cube steak with gravy for dinner. But let me share with you some of our favorite sides for this dish before we wrap it all up:

  • warm rice
  • roasted garlic mashed potatoes
  • green beans with bacon
  • cornbread
  • honey glazed carrots
  • steamed or roasted vegetables
  • easy dinner rolls to sop up all the gravy (Oh my GRAVY!)

    This was really good. I added a pack of Lipton onion soup mix to the gravy for added flavor and it did the trick!

    I cut the amount of thyme down, as the first time was too strong. Good otherwise.

    My husband hates for me to try new recipies. He said that after 38 years I should know he doesn’t like smothered steak. But when our meal was over he admitted he was wrong, it was surprisingly good. Only change I made was adding a splash of red cooking wine. Will definitely make this again!

    The first time in a year, due to COVID, we went out to dinner Saturday night. My husband had steak which came with a side of mushrooms and onions. I found this recipe and just slid in the oions and mushrooms we brought home into the recipe. Delicious! Served with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. Easy recipe to prepare and not time consuming. The meat came out tender and the gravy was fantastic. This reciper is a keeper. Thank you for sharing.

    My husband cooked this for dinner tonight. I’m jealous that I don’t eat beef anymore because the aroma from the onions and mushrooms made me hungry. Before he added the steaks to the mixture, I tasted the gravy. YUM! He adjusted the seasonings to our liking. Definitely won’t be the last time it’s made in our house.

    I have made this recipe twice and it is fabulous! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. Do you know if I can cook this and freeze for later? It would be great for an upcoming trip where I don’t want to waste valuable vacation time in the kitchen.

      You sure can. You will definitely need to add extra broth or water when reheating .
      Enjoy your vacation!
