Ingredients

  • 4 cubed steaks
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
    ½ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Dredge each cubed steak in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
    4 cubed steaks
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • Sear the cubed steaks on both sides until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Transfer the seared cubed steaks to the slow cooker.
  • In the same skillet, add sliced onions and minced garlic. Cook until the onions are softened and slightly caramelized. Deglaze the skillet with a bit of beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
    1 large onion, 2 cloves garlic
  • Add the sautéed onions and garlic to the slow cooker on top of the cubed steaks.
  • In a bowl, mix the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Pour this mixture over the cubed steaks.
    1 cup beef broth, ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the cubed steak is tender.
  • About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream to create a rich and creamy sauce.
    ½ cup heavy cream, Chopped fresh parsley

Notes

  • Storage Instructions: Store and leftover cube steak in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container. I do not recommend freezing the cooked steak.
