Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cube steaks
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the cube steaks on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place the flour in a shallow dish and dredge each cube steak, shaking off any excess.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add butter and vegetable oil.
Working in batches if needed, sear the cube steaks for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the sliced onion to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any browned bits.
Return the cube steaks to the skillet, covering them in the broth. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 25 minutes, turning the steaks halfway through cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, cornstarch, and water until smooth.
Remove the lid and stir the cream mixture into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Serve the creamy tender cube steaks over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a satisfying meal.
