Cube Steak
Description
Beef cube steaks are seasoned with a blend of flour, black pepper, salt, onion, and garlic powders, then coated evenly. Pan-frying in olive oil creates a crisp exterior while preserving juice inside. The mushroom gravy is prepared by sautéing onions and mushrooms to golden tenderness, then simmered with beef broth and onion soup mix. A cornstarch slurry thickens the sauce, which coats the steaks when returned to the skillet. The gravy has a savory depth from the broth and soup mix, enriched by mushrooms and onions.
The dish balances a tender meaty texture with a velvety, flavorful gravy, suitable as a main course served with sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables that can soak up the sauce.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1 Tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the flour, pepper, salt, onion, powder and garlic powder. Add the cube steak and coat with the flour on each side.
- In a medium sized skillet add the olive oil. Over medium high heat add the cube steak and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- To make the mushroom gravy: Add the olive oil and sliced onions. Sauté for 4-5 minutes and add in the mushrooms until they are tender and mushrooms are golden.
