Ingredients
4 cube steaks (about 1 1/2 lbs)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 cups beef broth
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions:
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge each cube steak in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the cube steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, and Worcestershire sauce (if using). Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
Return the cube steaks to the skillet, spooning the gravy over the steaks. Cover and simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the steaks are tender and cooked through.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.
Conclusion
Smothered Cube Steak is a hearty, flavorful dish that combines tender meat with rich gravy, making it a perfect comfort food for any occasion.
