Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cube steaks
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the cube steaks with kosher salt and black pepper.
Dredge the seasoned cube steaks in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Cook the cube steaks in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the skillet.
Add the sliced onions and mushrooms, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir it into the skillet to thicken the gravy.
Return the cube steaks to the skillet, spooning the gravy over the top.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes until the steaks are tender.
Serve the cube steaks with the gravy spooned over the top. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley.
