Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cube steaks
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1.5 cups beef broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the cube steaks on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Dredge each steak lightly in almond flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cube steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steaks and set them aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and soft, and the mushrooms are tender.
Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any browned bits. Stir in the heavy cream and dried thyme, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the seared cube steaks back into the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the steaks are tender and the gravy has thickened slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot alongside low-carb sides, such as cauliflower mash, zucchini noodles, or steamed veggies.
