Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cube steaks
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium, sliced yellow onions
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to create a seasoned flour mixture.
Dredge each cube steak in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the dredged cube steaks to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the steaks and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the sliced onions and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and caramelized.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, ensuring it does not burn.
Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet, stirring to deglaze the pan and incorporate any browned bits from the bottom.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually add this mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly, to thicken the gravy.
Return the cooked cube steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the onion gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the steaks simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
Once cooked, taste the gravy and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt or pepper.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.
