Ingredients
- 4 cube steaks
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1/4 cup flour
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons oil
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 cube steaks, 1 cup of beef broth, 1 sliced onion, 1/4 cup of flour, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of oil.
- Season the cube steaks on both sides with salt and pepper to taste. This will enhance the flavor of the meat.
- In a shallow dish, add the 1/4 cup of flour. Dredge each cube steak in the flour, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Carefully add the coated cube steaks to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and slightly caramelized, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Once the onions are cooked, gradually add 1 cup of beef broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Return the cooked cube steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Allow the steaks to simmer in the gravy for an additional 10 minutes, which will help them absorb the flavors.
- After simmering, taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Once done, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the cube steaks hot, generously spooning the onion gravy over the top. Enjoy your Minute Cube Steak with Gravy!
Tips
- • For the most tender results, use a meat mallet to gently tenderize the cube steaks before seasoning. • Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the steaks to achieve a beautiful golden-brown crust. • Don't overcrowd the pan - cook the steaks in batches if necessary to ensure proper browning. • Let the steaks rest for a few minutes after cooking to help retain their juices. • For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the gravy. • If the gravy is too thin, mix a little cornstarch with cold water and whisk it in to thicken. • Leftover cube steaks can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently to maintain moisture.
