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.
