Tips

Steak Selection: Cube steak works best, but you can substitute it with top round, bottom round, or even sirloin steak if pounded thin.
Thicker Sauce: If you prefer a thicker gravy, add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water) during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Vegetable Boost: Add sliced mushrooms, carrots, or potatoes to the crockpot for a heartier meal.

Variations and Substitutions

Soup Options: Swap cream of celery or cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup for a richer flavor.
Seasoning Swaps: Try adding garlic powder, paprika, or Worcestershire sauce for a flavor twist.
Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free soups and onion soup mix to make this recipe gluten-free.
