It just seemed so simple and fool proof that I doubled the recipe, just sure that it was going to be a hit. However, I don’t like it – and neither did my family. I did use two cans of cream of mushroom soup and followed the recipe to the letter. Covered and put in my crock pot for six hours only. The meat was tender, but the texture was absolutely terrible. Grainy and pebbly feeling inside the mouth. You how cube steak looks as though it’s been run over by a piece of lawn equipment with the ridges and valleys and tracks? Unfortunately, that was the texture; the meat breaks apart in your mouth into little pieces that taste as though you have dirt or sand in your mouth. The gravy was good, but couldn’t overcome the meat. I’m not sure what to do with the six pieces of leftover cube steak and gravy out of the eight that I prepared. I really cannot afford to waste that much meat, but I’m not sure how to overcome the nasty texture. In the future, I guess I’ll go back to frying the cube steak and making my own gravy….bummer, particularly since frying from scratch takes too long for a work night/school night meal in my household.

The concept was excellent, but I’m not sure what went wrong and where. I get my meat from a high quality meat market and have never had this kind of issue before with cube steak.
