Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cube steak
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large (thinly sliced) yellow onion
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 cups beef broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Dredge each piece of cube steak in the flour mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Shake off excess flour and set aside.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cube steak. Sear each piece for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the cube steak from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate all the flavorful bits. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the skillet while stirring continuously to thicken the sauce.
Return the seared cube steak to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the creamy sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the steak is tender and infused with the sauce.
Serve the creamy cube steak hot, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired. Pair it with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetable side for a complete meal.
