Notes

  • You don’t have to worry too much about overcooking the steak. If you make it before work and come back late, everything will be fine! Cube steak is best cooked between 6 and 8 hours.
  • The meat doesn’t need to be flipped. In fact, you should avoid removing the lid until the cooking time has elapsed. By removing the lid, you will allow the steam to escape, which will remove moisture from your food and the chamber. Stirring is also not necessary.
  • Add cornstarch to the sauce to thicken it. Mix 1 or 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 or 3 tablespoons of cold water to form a paste and add it to the crockpot towards the end of the cooking process. This can also be done with flour as long as you mix it with water first.
  • Thaw your cube steak before adding it to the crockpot as cooking frozen steak in a crockpot will result in too long of a cooking time. To thaw the meat, simply place it in the fridge overnight. Alternatively, you can place it in a plastic bag in cold water until it is thawed.
