Here’s a simple, flavorful way to cook raw cubed beef in a slow cooker using just 3 ingredients (plus the beef):
🥩 3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Beef
Ingredients
- 2 lbs raw beef cubes (chuck or stew meat)
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
Instructions
- Place raw cubed beef in the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the meat.
- Pour in the beef broth.
- Spoon the cream of mushroom soup on top (no need to stir).
- Cover and cook:
- Low: 7–8 hours
- High: 4–5 hours
- Stir before serving. The beef should be fork-tender.
🍽 Serve It Over:
- Mashed potatoes
- Rice
- Egg noodles
- Toasted bread
💡 Tips for Extra Tender Beef
- Chuck roast (cut into cubes) is usually more tender than pre-cut stew meat.
- Don’t lift the lid while cooking — it adds 20–30 minutes each time.
- If sauce is thin, remove lid for last 30 minutes.
If you want, I can also give you:
- A gravy-style version
- A taco-style 3-ingredient version
- Or a healthier no-cream-soup version
