Cube steak and gravy is one of my favorite comfort food meals. These steaks are fork tender, savory, and delicious (and easy too)!
This cube steak recipe was one of the first dishes I shared here, and boy do we love it. Since this was an early recipe, the original photos were B-A-D. I buried the originals deep in a virtual trashcan, but just trust me on this. Somehow it took me almost a year to make these tasty cube steaks again and take new photos, and we were very happy to have this old favorite for dinner. I hope this recipe will be a favorite at your house too!
There is something extra delicious about fork-tender meat if you ask me. I love a good steak, but slow-cooked meat that melts in your mouth is a different kind of treat. Add in rice and gravy, and I’m in heaven! I have loved rice and gravy for as long as I can remember, so it may be a bit of nostalgia for my childhood and Southern food. If you are more of a mashed potatoes and gravy fan, then definitely make some potatoes to go with it instead.
You do need to be home for a couple hours to prepare this cube steak recipe, but it’s completely hands off cooking after the first five minutes. Your house will smell amazing while it simmers, so that’s a bonus of the long cooking time. I haven’t tried making these cube steaks in the slow cooker yet, but think it would work if you browned them in the skillet first and then moved them to the crock pot. Let me know how it goes if you try it that way, or I’ll let YOU if I try it first 🙂

I’m going to make this today in the crock pot. I don’t have fresh mushrooms, but I have some dry that I can reconstitute. Your post made me laugh… I have a food blog also and have been going back to re-take pics on our old posts. lol. The work is never done!
This is so good! I have made it twice now and will be making it regularly. First time with rice and tonight with potatoes. It’s a cheap meal to make and you really can eat it with a fork! No knives needed which is great for seniors or kids. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
I do not have cube steak. Could I use New York strip steak instead?
Hi! Yes you can 🙂 I also have this similar recipe using inexpensive steaks: https://wearychef.com/fork-tender-steaks/ I should make it again with new photos! I feel like New York strip steaks might be too nice to cook like that though! You might also consider this oven steak recipe: https://wearychef.com/juicy-oven-steak/ Thanks for stopping by!
Do you simmer covered or uncovered?
Hi, Alexis! I updated the recipe to answer this question. I should have been more clear! I cover the pan but don’t put the lid on tight, so it’s mostly covered but some steam can escape. Thanks for asking and helping me improve my recipe 🙂
Making this right now, and the house smells delicous!
I hope you enjoyed it, Sabeebe. Thank you!!
Man I’ll tell you what… this turned out amazing, I am not the greatest chef nor do I claim to cook very well but the instructions were very easy to follow (might add a step between finishing browning the steak and adding the broths, I cleaned out the grease and leftovers from the pan and then returned the steaks… then added broth and Worcestershire sauce… unless this is a given to a seasoned chef) and the whole family enjoyed.
Thank you so much, Clifford! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Yum! I’d seen your recipe before, didn’t copy it down but wish I had…. Now that I have it again, and re-read it, I remember that I had a question then that I never asked:
“…simmer at least two hours….” Covered? Partially covered? Uncovered?
1 FEB 2016: I am trying to print some recipes and I am given a measurement option of METRIC or US. I choose US – but the print program shows me US on the screen, but then prints in METRICS. Personally, I could care less about METRICS – I’m too old to learn it – I don’t want to learn it anyway, and I simply want to Download and Print a recipe. Please fix! Thank You Young Lady, Simply Jack
Morning, Jack. Thank you so much for letting me know about this problem! I believe I have fixed it, but please let me know if you are still seeing metric measurements when you try to print.
