This old fashioned meal is so easy to make in the slow cooker. Serve it with mashed potatoes, rice or egg noodles on the side to take advantage of all of the yummy gravy.
1 large onion, sliced
1 small can mushrooms, drained
1/3 c. all-purpose flour
2 t. garlic powder
2 t. onion powder
1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper
6 beef cube steaks
1 T. olive oil
3 c. water, divided
1 envelope brown gravy mix
1 envelope mushroom gravy mix
1 envelope onion gravy mix
Line the crock of a slow cooker with a slow cooker liner for easy clean up. Spray the inside with nonstick cooking spray. Place the sliced onions and mushrooms in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag or on a large plate. Add steaks, a few at a time; shake until completely coated.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the steaks, a few at a time, and cook until lightly browned on each side. Place the browned steaks on top of the onions in the slow cooker. Pour 2 c. water over all ingredients.
Cover; cook on low for 8 hours or until meat is tender.
In a bowl, whisk together the 3 gravy mixes with the remaining 1 c. water. Add to slow cooker; cover and cook on low for 30 minutes longer.
