Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cubed steak
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until well blended.
Dredge each piece of cubed steak in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cubed steaks in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the thinly sliced onions. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized.
Pour the beef broth and worcestershire sauce into the skillet with the onions. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to incorporate into the sauce.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly to thicken the gravy.
Return the cubed steaks to the skillet, submerging them in the gravy. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the steaks simmer for 20-25 minutes, turning them once halfway through, until they are tender.
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the cubed steaks hot, smothered in the onion gravy, alongside your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
