Ingredients
2 pounds cube steak

2 packets brown gravy mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
2 tablespoons water (to mix with cornstarch)
Instructions
1. Layer sliced onions in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
2. Season cube steaks with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place them over the onions.
3. In a bowl, whisk beef broth with brown gravy mix until smooth. Pour over the steak and onions.
4. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 4–5 hours, until meat is fork-tender.
5. Optional: For thicker gravy, mix cornstarch with water and stir into the slow cooker. Cook uncovered for 15–20 more minutes.
6. Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. Enjoy!
Notes
You can add sliced mushrooms for an earthy depth of flavor.
Use low-sodium broth if watching salt intake.
Leftovers taste even better the next day after soaking in the gravy.
