Ingredients:

• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 beef cube steaks (approximately 4 oz. each)
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 3 cups water, divided
• 1 envelope reduced sodium brown gravy mix
• 1 envelope mushroom gravy mix
• 1 envelope onion gravy mix

Instructions:

1. Lightly coat the inside of a 3-5 quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Place the sliced onions in the slow cooker.
2. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Add the cube steaks, a few at a time, and shake until completely coated.
3. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the coated steaks on each side until lightly browned. Transfer the browned steaks on top of the onions in the slow cooker.
