Easy Cube Steak and Gravy

post-title

Foodie friends, I am not going to lie. The first time someone asked me to make a “cube steak recipe” I assumed I was picking up the package of stew meat.

Ingredients

  • 5 cube steaks , about 1 1/2 pounds
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 white onion , thinly sliced
  • 2 cups white mushrooms , sliced
  • 2 tablespoons dry gravy mix*
  • 1 1/2 cups low sodium beef broth
  • fine sea salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a shallow dish or pie plate, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, fine sea salt and black pepper.
  2. Dredge the cube steaks in the flour mixture, gently shaking off excess.
  3. In a large skillet, preferably cast iron, heat over medium-high heat. When hot, add the oil for 1 minute.
  4. Add the cube steaks to the skillet. If working with a smaller skillet, you might have to work in batches. Do not crowd the steak.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, add the butter, white onion and sliced mushrooms. Saute until starting to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Using a whisk, add the dry gravy mix, making somewhat of a paste and scraping the dried bits off the bottom of the pan.
  8. Stir in the beef broth until smooth. Taste test and add additional salt or pepper, if needed.
  9. Add the cube steaks back to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Cook for another 1-2 minutes so they can reheat and sauce can thicken. Serve immediately over rice, buttered noodles or mashed potatoes.
  10. If you've tried this recipe, come back and let us know how it was in the comments or ratings.
