I have never cared to fry food. That does not mean I do not like fried food. I do enjoy fried chicken or shrimp occasionally. I do not prepare it at home because I’m not too fond of the mess and don’t care for the house smelling of fried food. So, if we get a craving, we go out for it.
I married a hunter, so I had to learn to love venison. At first, I would use ground meat in saucy recipes such as chili or spaghetti. Then over the years, I learned to appreciate that it was not pumped full of chemicals and hormones, and I began eating the backstrap and tenderloin. But, as much as I enjoy venison in its place, I still prefer beef for a juicy steak or hamburger, a tender chuck roast, and cubed steak.
I have tried crock pot cubed steak in numerous ways over my years of cooking. This recipe is hands down the absolute best I have ever tried.
Using locally grown beef that is the freshest around was a plus in this recipe! We recently discovered AAA Meats in Twin City, Georgia. Now, I don’t think I’ll enjoy eating the beef I had previously put in our freezer! AAA Meats offers excellent high-quality, great-tasting beef with no additives! If you are interested in trying locally grown beef give Abb a call at 912-682-3767. Be sure to tell him Amye sent you!
This recipe is easy and flavorful, and the gravy was terrific over mashed potatoes! For a lower sodium option, choose McCormick’s 30% less sodium brown gravy mix and unsalted Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup. I could not find a low-sodium French onion soup, but you may find it in a store near you.
