Linda's One Pot Cube Steak Meal

I previously did Linda's Cube Steak as a Carnival entry, courtesy of KiltBaby and Mr. C. They introduced me to this wonderful dish, but last night I decided to see if I could make a good one-pot meal out of it. Here is what I did:

Hardware:
Large crockpot
Skillet
Bag
knife
cutting board

Ingredients:
Cube steak
1 family size can cream of mushroom soup
1 regular can cream of mushroom soup
1 container beef broth
flour
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
smoked paprika (optional)
vegetable oil
white truffle oil (optional)
8 oz. fresh or frozen lima beans
8 oz. fresh or frozen green peas
mushrooms

To prepare, place large can of cream of mushroom soup and beef broth in crock pot, cut to high. Add in peas and beans. Place flour, salt (small amount), fresh ground pepper, and smoked paprika (and other spices as desired) in bag, mix well. Flour cube steaks. Heat skillet with oil and truffle oil, then sear the cube steaks and place in crock pot. Place in mushrooms and more mushrooms, and then small can of cream of mushroom soup for final cover. Let cook at least 8 hours.

Enjoy!

LOL! I am evil you know... As a note to myself, I plan to use a smaller container of beef broth next time, not the large. My plan to let it cook all day today as well came to naught, as I had to turn it off this morning before I left for work as the meat was falling apart. Also, should I mention that I used lightly smoked portabella caps for this? *G*

Too late. I had to make a quick run to Fred Meyers last night because I was out of cough drops, and what appliance did they have on sale? Sigh. You plobably planned that didn't you? Long story short, here's Jan's Version:

cubed Buffalo meat
pepper and thyme in the flour
garlic flavored olive oil
cream of mushroom + beef broth
brocolli, red bell pepper and pearl onions
crimini mushrooms
parsley flakes and basil

Had some for breakfast this morning and it was wonderful! I generally prefer milder spices, so I switched to thyme and basil because I knew those would work even if flubbed the rest of it :) A gourmet cook, I'm not. I don't like smoked anything really, but I might try a little rosemary next time. Maybe toss in a bay leaf. There's a local company that makes fresh italian sausage that would go good in this too. Yum!

Yes, you are evil. I will be taking your name in vain shortly...
