Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cube steaks
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium, thinly sliced yellow onion
- 1.5 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge each cube steak in the seasoned flour, coating both sides, and shake off excess flour.
Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and is sizzling, add the cube steaks to the skillet.
Cook the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium, and in the same skillet, add the sliced onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and lightly browned.
Add the beef broth and soy sauce to the skillet, scraping the bottom to deglaze and incorporate all the browned bits into the gravy.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to make a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the gravy while stirring constantly to thicken.
Return the cube steaks to the skillet, spoon some of the gravy over them, and reduce the heat to low.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the steaks simmer for 5-7 minutes to heat through and absorb the flavors of the gravy.
Serve the cube steaks hot, smothered in gravy, alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetables.
