However many you need! I've used a "family pack," which is, I think, five pounds. I've also used a small pack--probably 4-6 steaks and it was fine, too. Just extra gravy.

My DH LOVED this! I left out the flour, browned the meat before putting it in the crockpot and before serving, I added a can of mushrooms. YUM!

Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Looks really good. Family likes steak and gravy a lot. This is a great site.

I was going to make this again tonight and serve it over rice. I liked it alot and way too easy. I would like to make the gravy a little thicker. It was too thin for me. How would I go about making it thicker other that maybe adding less water?

Thanks,

Wahhhhhh!! I still need help. I made the cubed steaks today but we didn't eat them. Now I need to make another batch tomorrow since my brother and FIL will be here for dinner. I still need to thicken it. HELP ME PLEASE

Maybe once it is ready you could remove the steaks and turn to high and stir in some cornstarch. I always use cornstarch to thicken up my stir fry sauces.

maybe a little more flour would make the gravy thicker while it cooked. I also like the idea of the cornstarch after it is cooked. I always put some water in a cup and add the cornstarch to it and mix really good before adding to anything then it doesn't clump. HTH

I have 6 steaks in there. 2 cups water, 1pkg brown gravy, 1 pkg onion soup mix. I am cooking it for 7 hours. No flour on the steaks.
