Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 4-6 ounces each) Cube steak
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
Dredge each piece of cube steak in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the butter for extra flavor.
Once the oil is hot, cook the cube steaks for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the steaks and set them aside.
To the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of the remaining seasoned flour mixture and whisk for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Slowly whisk in the beef broth and milk, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually add it to the skillet, whisking constantly, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Return the cooked cube steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 20-25 minutes to tenderize the meat.
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve the country-style steak hot with mashed potatoes or rice.
