Marsha - this is a fabulous recipe. I love how quick and easy it is finished but how tender the beef cube steak becomes after cooking. My family enjoyed every bite. Served with mashed potatoes too so I could use some of the extra gravy! My hubby is going to make a sandwich with the one remaining piece of steak tomorrow. This is definitely a keeper for our family!

I was hesitant to make this recipe because I typically don't like tinned soups as sauces....but.....I'm so glad I tried it! It was delicious and the soup actually imparts a lovely flavour. The meat was tender. The only change I made was to add fresh mushrooms to the sauce. I used skim milk because that's what I had and the consistency was not affected negatively at all.
I served it with mashed potatoes and broccoli....the sauce was lovely over the potatoes. My children have already asked me when I will be making again.
Thanks for sharing, Marsha!

Very good, cheap, and easy! I used fat free cream of mushroom and skim milk because that was what I had and it still turned out great!
