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!)

    I am excited to try this tomorrow! Just to clarify, you cook the meat each side 5 minutes and then in the end it simmers for about 10 more minutes? Definitely want mine to come out tender! This looks so good!

    This is a really good recipe!
    I do agree the cook time could be a bit longer for more tender cube steaks. Either way, it smelled great from the beginning.
    Served it over egg noodles with broccoli.
    All of your recipes I have tried so far have been delicious and a big hit!
    Thank you!

    After cooking everything as the recipe said, the cubed steak is a bit tough, should I continue to cook it or did I over cook at the initial stage?

    I just put this together, but I added sliced green pepper and sliced red pimentos. Took about 30 minutes from start to finish getting it completely together but it sure smells wonderful. Put it on simmer now until we decided to eat. The pimento’s and green pepper add a lot of color and extra taste. Thanks for the great recipe.

    Made it exactly as described. I was surprised how tasty and tender the beef turned out especially as I did the cubing myself with my trusty mallet.
    It was easy.
    It was great.
    I’d do it again.

    Unfortunately, the cook time for this recipe is strange; It says 25 days and 20 minutes—is the 25 which one is correct?

      Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It must have been a glitch with the recipe box plug in. Already updated it though.

    I ruined this dish with too much thyme. If I make it again I probably would eliminate it all together. If you aren’t a big fan of this herb I would suggest going really easy or maybe it is because I don’t really care for it. I have tried to tone it down by adding some sour cream but it hasn’t helped too much. This would have been really good if I had omitted the thyme.

      Sorry to hear that, Pat. But I appreciate you tho for taking the time to leave your thoughts. This would be helpful for the others who are on the fence with thyme.
