Crock Pot Cube Steak

Prepare the Cube Steaks: In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat each cube steak with the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
Sear the Steaks: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the coated cube steaks to the skillet and sear them for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are lightly browned. This step helps to seal in the juices and adds extra flavor to the dish.
Layer the Crock Pot: Place the sliced onions at the bottom of the crock pot. Arrange the seared cube steaks on top of the onions in a single layer.
Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Pour the sauce over the cube steaks in the crock pot.
Crock Pot Cooking: Cover the crock pot and cook the cube steaks on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours. The longer cooking time on low heat will result in more tender cube steaks.
Thicken the Sauce: If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the crock pot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Garnish and Serve: Once the cooking time is up, the cube steaks should be tender and flavorful. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
