What you need to make Country Steak and Gravy
- Cubed Steak
- Beefy Onion Soup Mix
- Au Jus Packet
- Cream of Chicken Soup

You may want to leave off the garlic salt! This is a very salty dish! But my family you know they are salt-a-holics! I am trying to get them help!
How to make Crock Pot Country Steak and Gravy
Get the crock pot sprayed with a little cooking spray, add in the meat.
Sprinkle on the au jus and the beefy French onion soup mixes.
Pour in 1 ½ cups water and the cream of chicken soup.
Set it to 8 hours on low and you are off. Now I know this doesn't look like it will be so magically good, but just trust me 🙂
About 30 minutes before you want to serve take about ¼ cup of the juice out and add 3 tablespoons of corn starch and mix until smooth. Or just mix your cornstarch with water. Pour back into crock pot, stir it around, and cook 30 minutes on high. This will thicken the juices and make the most flavorful gravy.
Now get ready to take a bite!! What did ya think? MMMM... GOOD right???

Ninja Multi Cooker - You can Saute (stove top cooking), Slow Cook, and it has an oven feature. Did I mention it's non stick!
Instant Pot - This is my fairly new found friend. This thing will sear, it's an electric pressure cooker, slow cooks, makes perfect rice and more. I love using the pressure cook feature. It's cooks in a fraction of time and gives the best flavor. I am always creating new Instant Pot recipes you can find HERE .
Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer - I use this to mix almost everything, especially when I bake. But it's fabulous to shred meat, mix bread dough, and mix really just about everything. I have a red one in my kitchen, but I am secretly eyeing this white one! Love, Love, Love it!
Crock Pot - The handy dandy standard crock pot. This slow cooks to perfection. I love this one with the locking lid. It's great for potlucks and traveling in the car with no spills.

We are keeping this recipe! I didn't have onion soup mix nor au jus mix, so I used two packets of mushroom gravy mix instead. I kept everything else the same. Total keeper! I served with mashed potatoes for the yummy gravy and a salad. The meat was soooo tender. I'll never fast cook chopped steak again.
Nikki Lee says
Thank you, Page! It's nice to adapt some items from what we have on hand. And I am thrilled this will be on your menu now!
Vickie Capuzzo says
Hi! I fixed this last night and the gravy was delicious gravy and tasty. Help!! I think I either did something wrong or my crock pot just cooks really to hot. My minute steak was very tough. What can I do to have very tender and juicy steak?
Nikki Lee says
Your crockpot may cook a little hotter so try reducing the cook time and see if you get better results. Sometimes it's also the cut or quality of meat (that has happened to me from time to time).
Brianne says
My husband loves this meal. Usually cook some green beans and mashed potatoes to go with it.
Nikki Lee says
Thank you Brianne! It is one of my hubby's favorites too! We love it with mashed potatoes and green beans as well!
Rhonda Schandevel says
Can my steak be frozen when I put in the crock pot or does it need te be thawed?
Nikki Lee says
I have only done this with thawed steak, but frozen should work. You may have to cook slightly longer. Now I have to test that out soon! Please let me know how it works out for you.
Pam says
Can you use beef broth for the au jus?
Nikki - Soulfully Made says
I have not tested it that way, but you certainly could. The au jus packet has a lot of flavor so you may not get the exact same rich result, but it should still be delicious.

Has anyone tried substituting Cream of Mushroom soup for the Cream of Chicken soup? I usually have this on hand more than I do Cream of Chicken.
[email protected] says
Thank you for stopping by, I hope you come back often! I always make this with Cream of Chicken, but I am sure the mushroom will be delicious as well! I need to give that a try next time! Give it a try and let me kow what you think!
Jacque says
I'm planning on making this, also only have cream if mushroom. Do have some chicken seasoning, the kind in a jar.anu feedback on using mushroom soup?
[email protected] says
Use the cream of mushroom soup it will still be fabulous. When you make it again try the chicken! See which way you like it best! They are both very delicious!
