Hello, This recipe sounds amazing. Could you tell me please, how much is 2 cubes of butter? I’m not familiar with that term. Thank you so much.

I grew up using the term Cube also and people look at me now like I’m crazy. A cube of butter is the same as a stick of butter. It is one fourth of the whole pound of butter because there are four cubes or sticks in each pound.

I know the recipe calls for 2 sticks of butter but I watched the video and it looked like they only used about 1Tablespoon (a pat) of butter. Now I’m confused.

But, a “cube” is a perfect square, equal on all sides. So it can’t be a “stick” of butter.

The video that I saw showed what I would estimate as two tablespoons of butter.

On-line is wrong. I made it last night and it was delicious… 2 tablespoons of butter was just right!

Kitchen Bouquet is the browning sauce I use; can be found in any US grocery, no doubt. However, PLEASE answer this one…IF 2 cubes is actually 2 sticks of butter, WHY does one need a whole cup of butter, and more olive oil, to brown some beef? That’s a HUGE amount.

12-12-17 I just had my bowl of this DELICIOUS concoction! Here is what I did:
3 lbs of Eye of Round cubed 1″ squares (I know it isn’t the tenderest cut, but here in WA State at $2.98 lb it was the best use of the budget!)
I did not brown the meat in 1 cup of butter (which is what 2 cubes/sticks is) and 1/4 cup oil! I have to wonder if the author must have meant 2 “pats” of butter? 2 Tbsp Butter and 2 Tbsp oil was more than enough. In fact, before I added the cornstarch at the end of the cooking time I had to ladle off probably 1/3 cup grease swimming on top of the liquids.
The rest of the recipe I followed with the exception of not having white pepper. I’m not that ritzy. I didn’t have Adobo seasoning so per the internet instructions I combined to taste and sprinkled on the meat as I sauteed it: paprika, oregano, chili pwd, onion and garlic powders, salt and pepper and the required thyme and parsley, too.When I was done cooking the meat I put it into the crockpot and put the onions with a Tbsp butter in the frying pan and softened them, scooped them into the crockpot, and to the frying pan added the mushrooms, another Tbsp butter and the Worchestershire and let them saute without getting crisp. Added the the mushrooms and the balance of the ingredients to the crockpot all at once, including about 2 tsp jarred minced garlic in place of fresh, but reserving the water, Kitchen Bouquet and cornstarch until 5 hours was up. The cornstarch wasn’t enough to thicken it well, so I used probably 3 Tbsp cream with another 2-3 Tbsp cornstarch and that made it perfect! The flavor this develops is so savory, so perfect.
Thank you for sharing the recipe!

I believe you are correct about the amount of butter. Perhaps by cube, the author means pats of butter?

What kind of seasoning salt? and why divided? The instructions do not show salt added at different times?

A cube of butter is a quarter of a stick of butter, that is to say 1oz. If you cut the stick in half and then half again you will see why it is called a cube of butter! As a rough guide 2 tablespoons equals 1 cube. Your recipe will need half a stick, 1/4 cup or 4 tablespoons, just choose the measure you prefer.

Did anyone need longer than 5 hours on low in the slow cooker? We were excited to try this but not sure the meat is as tender as it should be….

According to the internet a cube of butter could be either a stick (1/4 pound) or 2 tablespoons. I think this recipe must call for 4 tablespoons.

In this case, a cube of butter is 2 T so use 4 T or a little less.

I have looked all over the East Bay Area where I live and cannot find any store that carries Gravy Master. Is there an equal replacement/alternative. Recipe on how to make a copy cat? Any suggestions? Have been eager to make a couple of your recipes but stuck on trying to locating this ingredient locally.

We cannot get “Adobo” here in Prince George Canada…is there a substitute that can be used?? This sounds good

I wasn’t familiar with cubes of butter either so I used 2 tablespoons. It was delicious. If I were feeding more than 4 people, I would double the recipe though..

A cube is equal in measurement on all sides, so it can’t be a stick of butter.
Reply
Cyndy says
I watched the video attached to the recipe, and she only used 2 “pats” of butter, NOT 2 sticks. Other than the mushrooms, this looks really good.

This is truly an awesome recipe and very easy. As I could not find the gravy master at my grocery store, I substituted 3 Tbsp of brown gravy powdered mix and ~1/4 cup of water. Still outstanding and you can find brown gravy in nearly every store in my area. Just as a thought for those who may be confused with the recipe and the use of 2 cubes of butter. When you watch video of the preparation, it clearly shows an amount equivalent to 2 tablespoons. My grocery store carries packages of butter in 1 tablespoon packets. It is a 1 pound package with 32 individual packets. This may be what the recipe author was referring to.

I made this last year and figured the butter/oil measurements were “off”. I used the same amount of meat, used 2 Tbsp each butter and oil and the combo was still too much ‘fat’…and I’m a butter lover!
I did not go out and buy Adobo, but made a mixutre of 1/4 tsp each: paprika, oregano, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder and salt.Instead of mixing the cornstarch with water I used equal amount of cream and 4-5 Tbsp cornstarch. The “Gravy Master” is undoubtedly what we in the western states call “Kitchen Bouquet”. It adds depth to any soup, stew, gravy.
Hubby is a “meat and potatoes” guy and we really loved this dish!
