Ingredients
  

  • 4 cube steaks (about 1¼–1½ lb total) look for well-tenderized cuts
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil or unsalted butter for extra richness, use ghee
  • 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder—fresh packs more punch)
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz) low-sodium if you’re watching salt
  • 1 can cream of celery soup (10.5 oz) or swap for cream of chicken
  • 1 cup beef broth homemade or low-sodium boxed
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce boosts umami
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried thyme or 1 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil (or butter) in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season steaks with salt and pepper, then brown each side 1–2 minutes. This crusty layer locks in flavor.
  • Spread sliced onions across the slow cooker’s base, sprinkle minced garlic on top—this aromatics bed infuses every bite.
  • Nestle browned steaks over onions. Pour in both cans of soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and thyme—stir gently so the gravy coats the meat.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours (or HIGH for 3–4 hours). The house will fill with a homey, oniony aroma that’ll have everyone circling the kitchen.
  • Whisk cornstarch and cold water, stir into the cooker, and let it bubble until the sauce glazes the back of your spoon.
  • Stir, sample the gravy, then tweak salt and pepper if needed. If it’s too thin, cook uncovered for 10–15 more minutes.
  • Sprinkle minced parsley or chives on top. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.

Notes

Pick up a value-pack of cube steak to save money. If your market only carries larger steaks, ask the butcher to tenderize them for you.
