Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 ½ lbs Cubed Steak
Seasoning and Coating:
- ⅓ cup Flour
- ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ½ teaspoons Pepper
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
Liquid and Aromatic:
- ½ cup Vegetable oil
- 14 ounces Beef Broth
- 1 large Onion
Instructions
- Pour ½ cup vegetable oil into a large skillet, heating over medium-high heat until shimmering at 375°F.
- Blend ⅓ cup flour, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp pepper in a shallow dish, creating a seasoned coating for your steak.
- Thoroughly coat each ½ lb cube steak in the flour mixture, gently tapping off excess breading.
- Carefully place the breaded steaks into the hot oil, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the browned steaks to a clean plate, keeping them warm.
- Slice 1 large onion and drop into the same skillet, sautéing for 5-6 minutes until translucent and softened.
- Pour 14 oz beef broth into the skillet, stirring in 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce.
- Return the steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the meat becomes remarkably tender.
- Serve the cube steak immediately with its rich, savory gravy over your favorite side.
Notes
- Choose a thin-cut cube steak to ensure quick and even cooking.
- Pat the steak dry before dredging to help the flour coating stick better and create a crispier crust.
- For a gluten-free version, swap wheat flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend.
- Low and slow simmering helps tenderize the typically tough cut of meat, making it fork-tender and delicious.
