Typically, after frying, the cube steak is cooked in the oven for 2 or more hours; however with the Instant Pot, cooking time is reduced to less than 30 minutes!

Usually, you do not cut the cubed steak into smaller pieces. If you are frying the cubed steak in a separate pan, you will not need to. However, if you are cooking everything in the Instant Pot (and why dirty another dish?) then you will cut the cube steak into smaller pieces to fry them in the Instant Pot easily with space around the meat to prevent touching. The space prevents steaming the meat and allows it to cook a crispy outer crust.

This is a step-by-step recipe on how to make delicious Instant Pot Country Style Steak.

After cutting the cubed steak, toss the meat into a ziplock bag filled with flour giving it a nice flour dust on all sides of the meat. 

Add oil to the Instant Pot and cook steaks on the Sauté setting on each side until crust is brown and crispy (about 3 minutes a side). Set aside the steak.

Deglaze the Instant Pot pan with some of the beef broth.

Add onions and cook until tender.

Return the steak to the Instant Pot. Add remaining ingredients and cook for 20 minutes on manual High setting.

  3. Perfect! I didn’t even have all the right ingredients and it still turned out perfect. Substituted the soup for additional thickened broth and it was just fine. This is a keeper.

  4. This is exactly how I wanted cube steak to turn out! I’m using your recipe for the second time in a week so I can share with my parents again—they loved it, too!

  8. I haven’t tried it this way, but I think you could cook everything the same in a large skillet. Then instead of cooking 20 minutes in the Instant Pot, place the steaks and the ingredients in a 9×13 baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 for an hour to hour 1/2. I hope this works.

  9. This is my husband’s favorite recipe of all that I have made in my Instant Pot. He requests it every week and wants leftovers for lunch the following day every time! He hates onions though so I leave them out. A winner in my book!

  11. Finally! I can cook cubed steak that tastes like my Moms used to! Thank you so much for this recipe. It’s perfection.

  13. So excited to try this recipe this weekend! I have about 8 cubed steaks to cut up – is it ok to kind of layer / stack them up as it will more than cover the bottom of my 6qt IP. Thank you!

  16. I have 8 quart pot. I want to use 6 lbs of meat. Do I double or triple the rest od the ingridents?

  17. I think my Instant Pot is smaller… I really couldn’t be sure how 6 lbs would cook because I have never cooked a batch that big in or out of the Instant Pot. But I think doubling the additional ingredients would be more than enough. You might need more flour because you have to dust each piece of of meat with flour. Can you let me know how it turns out? I know this recipe is delicious with 2lbs of meat for sure.

  18. I used your recipe as a guide based on what I had…used a can of beef broth and a can of French onion soup instead of the cream soup & onion soup mix. Cooking time was perfect and the steak was deliciously tender. I’ll have to shop better next time and follow your recipe exactly 🙂

  19. This was SOOO good and perfect flavors! I did not have Cream of Celery and substituted Cream of Mushroom, but worked just fine! Great recipe!! Its a keeper!

    Oh, I have a 6qt and I used the electric skillet (because I LOVE to do dishes-not!) to brown up my full patties, and I just layered them (I think I had two layers); and it worked perfectly! Thanks for this recipe!!

  21. I didn’t have the exact ingredients on hand that you listed, so I had to improvise, but it turned out great. The meat was nice and tender and great flavor. Served with mashed potatoes and corn, it was delecious.

  24. I’m making this now my husband doesn’t like a lot of stuff but sense he bought me my instant pot he likes different food’s now. Thank you

  25. If you make this recipe without the onions do you need to reduce any of the liquids?

  29. Very good. I don’t have any onion and only cream of mushroom soup. Very tasty and tender. We had rice instead of potatoes. Will definitely fix again. Thank you

  31. Well…this a an excellent dinner!! My husband is from Arkansas and loves it! Definitely a keeper and am making it for the second time tonight. Thank you for this wonderful recipe. And go Instant Pot!

  33. I have all the ingredients but only have 1 pound of cube steaks (just the two of us). Do I use the recipe as is or is there a way to reduce for 1/2 and amount of meat?

  34. You could halve the ingredients and I think it would be fine. You could also keep it the way it is and you will just have extra gravy for mash potatoes or rice. I am not sure if the gravy will be a little more thin or a little thicker because of the difference in meat…If it is thicker, I don’t think it will be bad. If it is thinner, what you could is remove the meat, turn on the saute setting, and simmer it for a few minutes until the gravy is thickened. Either way, it will still be good.

  35. I’ve made this recipe several times, and my hubby and I love it! I prepare it just a bit differently though. I don’t saute the onions prior to cooking, as I find that they pretty much disappear into the gravy when I do. I also add some herbs de Provence or some Italian seasoning to the mix. But what really puts this dish over-the-top is the addition at the end of 1/2 a cup or so of my homemade Greek yogurt. You could use heavy cream or sour cream as well. The yogurt makes the delicious, herb and onion flavored gravy much more creamy and delicious!!
    I mash the potatoes with a touch of butter and milk, and more of the Greek yogurt, adding in salt, pepper, and (my secret ingredient for mashed potatoes, white or cheese sauces, and sautéed mushrooms) a pinch of nutmeg.
    I’ve made this for company as well, and it is always well-received!

  37. With a bigger family comes a bigger pot and doubling the batch. But it was still amazing! I tweaked it since I only had one can of cream of celery soup BUT I had a cream of onion soup, so I mixed them. Soooooo yummy! My instant pot gave me a worry, though. After reaching the pressure point, my pot beeped and read BURN. I ignored it at first but, when the pot shut off, I restarted it with medium heat instead of the recommended high heat. Still done in 20 minutes and no scorched bottom.

  39. This recipe was a HUGE hit at our house. I had to increase the poundage of meat to 3 pounds. Added another cup of beef broth. Made no other changes and it came out wonderful.
