Before I tried this recipe, my family did not like this particular cut of beef because it was chewy. But these cubed steaks, slow-cooked until they're nice and tender, are now one of our favorites.—Judy Long, Limestone, Tennessee

Made this last night for dinner and it was wonderful! Great flavor and the steaks come out so tender. We had them over mashed potatoes

Could become a favorite. I did mine for 3.5 hours on high, then added sautéed mushrooms and gravy mix. Then another 1.5 hours on low.

Family loved it.

I ended up cooking 3 hours on high, then 1 1/2 on low before adding gravy mixes. I did make a cornstarch slurry to thicken my gravy. Had over mashed potatoes. Reminded me of smothered steak. Gravy had wonderful flavor. Definitely a keeper here.

Made this for my family last week and they LOVED it. Very similar to my mom's swiss steak. Making again tomorrow. This will definitely become one of our regular meals.

I followed this recipe and yes the meat is tender but it is still red on the inside. I wonder how everyone got there meat fully cooked. I browned the meat and then put in slow cooker before work and now I'm home with nothing to feed my kids now bc the inside of meat is still red.

This was easy and absolutely delicious. Like most recipes I took creative license with the seasonings and kicked that up a lot.

Great flavor and tender. I could have cut the cooking time to 4 hours. After 8 hours the steaks were more like mush.

Very good. I followed the recipe exactly and these steaks turned out really good. Quick, easy and tasty

Most gravy mixes contain flour and my family has wheat allergies. I used onion soup and boullion. Very good

I would love to find a similar recipe that doesn't use gravy mixes. Can anyone help?

I've made this recipe a number of times. Always comes out good.

The gravy was good. The meat, however, was bland. Don't cook it as long. I was lucky and checked mine, but I would cut the time by, at least, 1:30 hours.

Fantastic recipe. Whole family loved it, even the picky ones. The only changes I made were to double the recipe, layer the meat with the slice onions and used gravy mixes I had on hand (pork, beef & chicken). Served it on mashed spuds and had just enough leftovers to take to work for a yummy lunch.

Our family absolutely loves this recipe! It's now one of our favorites to make!

This was very simple and a nice change from fried cube steak. I used 1 can cream of mushroom soup & 1 can french onion soup with 1 can of water. I added 2 cups of mixed vegetables.
