Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cube steaks
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Dredge cube steaks on both sides in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Set aside any remaining flour for later use.
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cube steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove steaks from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add butter and let it melt. Add the sliced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and golden.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the reserved flour mixture into the skillet with the onions. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the gravy thickens slightly.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir this into the gravy and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the gravy thickens further.
Return the cube steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the steaks simmer in the gravy for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired. Serve hot with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious gravy.
