Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

¼ cup flour
¼ cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
6 cube steaks
2 tablespoons butter, or as needed
1 cup milk, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a shallow bowl. Spread 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture onto a plate; press each cube steak into flour mixture to coat completely.
  • Place coated steaks on a work surface and pound each several times with a meat tenderizer on each side to pound flour into steak. Pound each steak a second time to further incorporate flour mixture into the meat.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until skillet is about 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cook steaks in hot butter until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer steaks and any stray pieces of meat to a plate and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm. Let skillet cool briefly.
  • Heat the same skillet over low heat. Pour enough milk into the skillet to cover the bottom of the pan. Whisk 1 tablespoon flour mixture into hot milk until gravy has a cream-like consistency, 10 to 15 minutes. Add more flour mixture as necessary to thicken gravy. Transfer any steak scraps back into the skillet and season gravy with salt and black pepper.
  • Place hot steaks on plates and top with gravy.

1 medium yellow onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 lb cube steak

CUBE STEAK WITH TOMATO BROWN GRAVY



Cube Steak with Tomato Brown Gravy image

My mother used to make cube steak when I was a child, and is the only kind of steak that I enjoy. I added this and that and it came out with a delicious flavor that i am passing on to you..

Provided by Kathey Jo Hickey-Van Otten

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 pieces of cube steak
1 egg, beaten
1 sea salt or kosher
2 Tbsp black pepper
2 c bread crumbs
1 Tbsp parsley
1 Tbsp basil
1 Tbsp rosemary
1 Tbsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 pt crushed tomatoes-i used my home canned tomatoes
2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 c water
1 large chopped onions

Steps:

  • 1. Sprayed with pam my cast iron skilled, added the chopped onions, cooking on medium high or medium if that is too high on your stove.
  • 2. Beat the eggs in the blender and place in a bowl big enough to put each piece of steak. Make sure the egg covers all the steak
  • 3. Place all the spices in a baggy along with the bread crumbs. Mix it up by shaking. Add each piece of steak individually in the bagging and close, shaking it throughly to cover the steak.
  • 4. Take steak out of baggy and place in hot skillet, along with the onions. Add a few tablespoons of butter to fry it with. Stir the onions so they won't burn. If necessary, take out of skillet and put on plate until steaks have finished cooking, which would be about ten minutes. Five minutes each side.
  • 5. Take the steak out and put on plate and add the onions back in the skillet. Let them cook alittle to where they will begin to carmelize, in about 1-2 minutes. Use a whisk to stir everything up. Add the water a little at a time, and let it thicken up some some, by adding the cornstarch. Keep stirring to get the right consistancy of the gravy you want. Add the tomatoes and cook some more. May need to add a wee bit more cornstarch.
  • 6. Once gravy is made, add the steaks back into the skillet and simmer for about ten minutes. It is done..I served with chopped butter fried cabbage which is sweet when cooked.

CUBE STEAK IN GRAVY (SLOW COOKER)



Cube Steak in Gravy (Slow Cooker) image

I bought some cube steaks on a whim and then was not sure what to do with them. I liked the idea of slow cooking, but not the cream of soups and mixes that so many recipes featured. So I made this up based on what I had in my pantry. Mr Grumpy did not speak while eating, just made little moaning noises.. I guess that means he likes it!

Categories     Steak

Time 7h30m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4-1 1/2 lbs cube steaks
1/4 cup flour
salt
ground black pepper
ghee or vegetable oil
1 medium carrot, sliced
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup red wine
3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

Steps:

  • I used a 3 qt slow cooker, This did not fill it up halfway, so that a larger cooker will cook in a much shorter period of time, so please be aware of that.
  • Rub flour onto both sides of the steaks, and sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the ghee or oil in a skillet and brown the steaks on both sides, transferring to the slow cooker as they are done.
  • In the meantime, put the carrots, onion, thyme and bay leaf in the slow cooker.
  • Once the meat is done, reduce the heat and pour the wine into the skillet. Stir to loosen and dissolve the fond and let it simmer briefly to reduce the wine a bit. Pour into the slow cooker.
  • Add the broth and tomato sauce into the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6 or 7 hours. At this point, the meat held together as I removed it, but was fork tender.
  • Serve with the gravy that made itself in the crockpot. I found that this needed no additional salt, but you should adjust for your own tastes.
