In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Dredge each piece of cube steak in the seasoned flour, coating both sides, then shake off any excess.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt.
Sear the cube steak pieces in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the steaks and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until they become soft and translucent.
Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the simmering broth while stirring constantly. Allow the gravy to thicken for 2-3 minutes.
Return the cube steak to the skillet, spooning some of the gravy over the top of the steaks. Cover and simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the steaks are tender.
Serve the cube steak with gravy on top, alongside mashed potatoes or rice if desired.
