Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter divided
- 1 onion sliced
- 4 cube steaks
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 3 tbsp flour gluten free or regular
- 2 cups broth chicken or beef
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce gluten free if needed
Instructions
- First, add 2 tablespoons butter and sliced onions to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, frequently stirring to prevent burning.
- Once softened, remove onions from pan and plate on plate. Leave leftover butter in pan.
- While onions are cooking, tenderize meat. Place saran wrap over steaks. Pound to ½ inch thin with mallet. Then season steak on both sides with pepper, salt, paprika and garlic powder.
- Place seasoned steaks into the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes on each side over medium heat. Then, remove steaks to a plate.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet over medium heat. Add in flour and whisk to combine.
- To the skillet, add broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly. After about 2 minutes, gravy will have thickened up.
- Turn heat off. Place steaks and onions into the gravy in the pan. Spoon gravy over the tops of the steaks.
- Finally, serve steaks with onions and gravy on top!

Notes
- If desired, continue cooking onions until they are caramelized.
- Even though steaks are already tenderized, pound it thin. This prevents steaks from becoming too chewy or tough.
- Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free flour can be used.
- Both chicken broth and beef broth can be used. For these photos, I used chicken broth.
- Be sure to use gluten free Worcestershire sauce if gluten free. Regular Worcestershire sauce contains barely and is not gluten free.
- Continue whisking gravy while cooking. Otherwise, it will burn.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
