Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cube steak
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion (sliced)
- 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Dredge the cube steaks in the seasoned flour, 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 hot, add the cube steaks and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Add the sliced onion and mushrooms, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and become golden brown.
Pour the beef broth into the skillet and stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to deglaze it.
Return the cube steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom and onion mixture. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30 minutes, flipping the steaks halfway through cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Stir this mixture into the skillet and let the gravy thicken for about 3-5 minutes.
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the smothered cube steak hot, garnished with chopped parsley. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
