Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cube steak
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Dredge each piece of cube steak in the seasoned flour mixture, coating both sides evenly. Shake off any excess flour and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cube steaks in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove the steaks and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until softened.
Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits.
Return the browned cube steaks to the skillet, submerging them in the gravy. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until the steaks are tender.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the skillet to thicken the gravy.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy has reached your desired consistency.
Serve the Country Style Steak hot, spooning the gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables for a hearty, comforting meal.
