Slow cooker cube steaks with gravy is a delicious and comforting dish that’s easy to prepare. Cube steaks are typically tenderized cuts of beef, and when cooked in a slow cooker, they become incredibly tender and flavorful. Here’s a simple recipe for slow cooker cube steaks with gravy:
Ingredients:
- 4 cube steaks
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for searing (optional)

Instructions:
- If desired, you can start by searing the cube steaks in a hot skillet with vegetable oil for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are lightly browned. This step is optional but can add extra flavor to the dish. Place the seared steaks in the slow cooker.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and aromatic. Transfer the onions and garlic to the slow cooker.
