Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cube steak
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large onion
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Dredge each piece of cube steak in the seasoned flour, ensuring an even coating on both sides. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Once the skillet is hot, place the coated cube steaks in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside.
Thinly slice the onion and add it to the skillet. Sauté the onion over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly browned.
Slowly pour the beef broth into the skillet, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze and incorporate the flavorful brown bits.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Once the broth begins to simmer, gradually stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the gravy. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
Return the cooked cube steaks to the skillet, nestling them in the gravy. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the skillet, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the cube steaks are tender and infused with the gravy.
Serve the cube steak with gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
