FAQ
Can I cook this on high instead of low?
Yes, cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, though the steaks will be slightly less tender than the low-and-slow method.
Can I use a different cut of meat?
Yes, round steak or even chuck roast cut into portions can be used in place of cubed steak.
Does the gravy thicken while cooking?
It thickens slightly, but if you’d like it thicker, whisk in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water) during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
