So we returned from vacation, again traveling through the night to get home. So this momma had about 8 hours sleep total for 3 days. Not. Good. Not to worry though, Michael took good care of me! I crawled into bed and was pretty much useless for the next 24-36 hours, and Michael took care of everything! He even went to the store and found an awesome deal on some pork steaks! They were marked down to only $.99/lb! So we had 18 pork steaks (that we broke into three different groups and packaged up) that we have to make up and only paid a little over eight bucks for all of them! Yay!
He didn’t even wait for me to make up the first batch and did a little recipe development all on his own. Being the dear that Michael is, he wrote down the recipe so I can share it with you lovely folks!
Please note the bottom of the recipe and the humbleness of my dear husband…
Crock Pot Pork Steak with Gravy Notes:
- For this delicious Crock Pot Pork Steak with Gravy recipe, Michael used my Programmable Travel Crock Pot. You can use your favorite 5-6 quart slow cooker.
- What we didn’t realize until after we had already done the pictures for this yummy recipe is that the gravy, made from the juices of the pork steaks and the ingredients added in with it, is awe-some on mashed potatoes! It was seriously over-the-top good!
- The kids, Michael and I couldn’t get enough of this. I would hate to guess how much my kiddos ate…and they are almost 2 and 4! (Heaven help me when Ryder is a teenager!) However, as Ryder put it, “I ate LOTS of protein tonight!” Yes son, yes you did. 🙂

May 7, 2017 at 2:34 pmDid you leave steaks whole or cut partially? I buy a type of pork steak weekly but these steaks are huge.

We left them whole and layered them in the crock pot. If you want to cut them in half, that would be fine too. Enjoy!

May 2, 2017 at 6:38 pmThis is confusing about how much pork steak to use. The hand written notes indicate 2 3lb pork steaks but the typed version says 2-3 lbs of pork steak. I don’t knowbif this was a typo but I prepared it with 2-3 lbs and it is having an effect on cooking time so my family is hungrily waiting! Very disappointing!

I’m sorry you are disappointed. The typed recipe is correct. It is 2-3 lbs of pork steaks. The cooking time should be near the time in the recipe card, depending on how your slow cooker cooks. I wouldn’t expect you to try and read Michael’s handwriting! Reading his handwriting is still hard for me at times, and I’ve been reading it for almost seven years! lol I only put the picture in the post to show how sweet he was while I was recovering from driving home from vacation. I hope you and your family enjoyed it once it was done.

April 15, 2017 at 6:03 pmIf I use frozen pork steaks, is it the same cooking time?
Aunt Lou says
April 18, 2017 at 1:09 pmHi Brooke!
You’ll want to thaw your pork steaks first. Food Safety organizations have brought up the concern of food not reaching safe cooking temps fast enough if the meat starts out frozen. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!

October 28, 2016 at 11:25 amSounds like you have a sweet husband Aunt Lou. I have a lot of thick center cut pork chops we bought at Sam’s club in bulk and froze individually. Do you think those would work well?
I’m hooked on you, Mikey and Cris….Great recipes and lots of fun! Thanks to all of you for what you do here!
Aunt Lou says
October 28, 2016 at 2:23 pmHi Kim!
Yes he is! I am one blessed lady!
I haven’t tried it with center cut pork chops, but think it would work. Just watch your cooking time the first time you make it with them so that you can adjust your cooking time as necessary.
Thank you so much! It really means alot to us to hear from people that appreciate what we do!
Enjoy!

October 5, 2016 at 7:23 pmThis sounds ridiculously good! I’ve never seen pork steaks. Do you think I could use pork tenderloin, or would that fall apart too easily.
Thanks!
Aunt Lou says
October 8, 2016 at 11:56 pmHi Heather!
I haven’t tried it with tenderloin yet.It may fall apart a bit, but it would still be good! If you want, you could use a pork loin as it is not quite as tender. If you cook them as a whole and not cut into chops, then you you will need to extend the cooking time a bit. Let me know how it turns out! Enjoy!

October 4, 2016 at 11:07 amI’ve got to try this soon. It sounds amazing, but kinda getting tired of the cream-of soups. What could I use instead? Also, I just love the hand written version. It gives the recipe a personal touch. Thanks Michael.

I haven’t tried this recipe without the cream soup, but below are a few pork chop recipes that don’t have any cream soups. Enjoy!

October 4, 2016 at 10:29 amSounds yummy! What are pork steaks?
Aunt Lou says
October 4, 2016 at 4:56 pmHi Janell!
The package just said pork round end steaks. I haven’t tried it, but I would guess that this recipe would also work with pork chops if you can’t find the steaks. Enjoy!

April 9, 2017 at 11:44 pmPork steaks are often pork shoulder, a long-cooking tough meat which tenderizes with low & slow cooking.
