Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Dredge each cube steak in the seasoned flour, ensuring both sides are coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Sear the cube steaks on each side for about 2-3 minutes until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the steaks and set aside.
Slice the onion into thin rings and add them to the same skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Pour in the beef broth and stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the simmering broth to thicken the gravy.
Season the gravy with garlic powder, and if needed, adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Return the cube steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy and onions.
Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for 75 minutes, or until the cube steaks are tender and infused with the gravy's flavors.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve the cube steaks hot, topped with the rich gravy, alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
