Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cube steaks
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Dredge each cube steak in the flour mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the pan is hot.
Add the cube steaks to the skillet in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Slice the yellow onion into thin rings and add it to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
Pour the beef broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to deglaze.
Return the cube steaks to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the broth. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 30 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Uncover the skillet and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the gravy thickens.
Serve the cube steaks hot with the onion gravy drizzled on top. Pair with mashed potatoes or rice for a complete meal.
