Pro Tips for the Best Crock Pot Cube Steak
✔ Searing the cube steak first adds more flavor and helps keep it juicy.
✔ Cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup can be used instead of cream of celery.
✔ For a thicker gravy, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water) during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
