Description

This recipe for Slow Cooker Mississippi Beef Cubed Steaks includes tender, flavorful meat cooked in a blend of au jus, ranch seasoning, and butter, topped with tangy pepperoncini peppers. It’s an easy, satisfying meal perfect for busy weekdays or weekend dinners.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Meat

      • 6 cube steaks

Seasonings

      • 1 ounce au jus gravy packet
      • 1 ounce ranch seasoning packet

Liquid

      • 1/3 cup water

Additional Toppings

    • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes
    • 6 pepperoncini peppers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the slow cooker: Place 3 of the cube steaks into the bottom of an 8-quart slow cooker.
  2. Add seasonings to the first layer: Sprinkle half of the au jus mix and half of the ranch seasoning mix over the steaks.
  3. Layer the remaining steaks: Add the remaining 3 cube steaks on top and sprinkle with the remaining seasonings.
  4. Add water: Pour 1/3 cup of water into the slow cooker.
  5. Top with butter and peppers: Place the cubes of butter and the pepperoncini peppers on top of the steaks.
  6. Cook the steaks: Close the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  7. Serve immediately: Serve the steaks with the sauce as a savory gravy for an added burst of flavor.

Notes

  • Pat the Meat Dry: If there’s excess moisture on the steaks, pat them with a paper towel before seasoning to help the rub stick.
  • Don’t Open the Lid: Slow cookers thrive on consistent heat. Peeking too often can add extra cook time—resist that urge!
  • Adjust the Heat: If your slow cooker runs hot, you might only need 4 hours on low. If it runs cooler, go for 6 hours. Every crock pot is different.
  • Try Browning First: If you have an extra few minutes, sear the cubed steaks in a large skillet with a little oil for a golden brown exterior. This step locks in flavor.
  • Add Extra Pepperoncini: If you’re a fan of tangy flavor, toss in a few more peppers or drizzle in some pepperoncini juice.
  • Pair It Right: Serve over creamy mashed potatoes, rice, or even toasted bread for a hearty meal that’ll impress your dinner guests.
