Cube Steak with Gravy
Description
The recipe begins by tenderizing cube steaks briefly with a meat mallet to enhance tenderness. Onions are sautéed in butter until translucent to create a flavorful base. Seasoning the steaks with kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika adds depth and spice to the meat.
Steaks are cooked in the skillet on medium-high heat for several minutes per side, forming a browned exterior. After removing the steaks, the remaining butter and flour are added to the pan and cooked briefly to form a roux. Beef broth and Worcestershire sauce are whisked in to create a smooth, creamy gravy that cooks until thickened.
Finally, the steaks and onions are returned to the pan and coated with the gravy before serving. This method yields tender steaks with a flavorful sauce that marries the meat's savoriness with aromatic onions and a velvety texture.
