Cubed steak is delicious when breaded and fried. However, the culinary success of this entree has kept many from seeing the full potential of this convenient and tasty cut of beef!

 

​

Directions

First, get your crock pot ready.  Lightly oil the bottom of the crock and cover in onion slices (1 - 2 medium onions).  Turn on "HIGH".

To prepare the cubed steak, thaw completely and separate the pieces.  Pat dry and lightly season with salt  & pepper before searing over high heat on a cast iron skillet or griddle coated in Avocado Oil.  Sear about 30 seconds on each side, just long enough to caramelize the surface, and transfer to the crock pot.  Turn the temperature to LOW and cover.  Cook for 2 to 4 hours before layering with your favorite sandwich toppings.

 

Slice French bread loaf lengthwise and cut into 6" lengths for each sandwich.  Butter and toast bread.

Layer sandwiches with swiss cheese, cubed steak, and onions.

Serve with  Au Jus sauce
