- 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.

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.

SMOTHERED STEAK DEEPLY SOUTHERN
Growing up in the South, we had a neighbor that I adored, Cris Juneau, French Louisianian from New Orleans' way. She made the BEST smothered steak. Reconnecting when I was adult, she cooked her infamous dish from memory, but I watched and recreated to paper. Serve with Recipe # 27361. Simply pure southern comfort food!

Steps:
- In small bowl mix 4 seasonings.
- Place flour in a flat surfaced dish (save unused flour for smothering).
- Sprinkle front and back side of each steak piece and rub deep into groves of steak.
- Heat oil to medium high in skillet (cast iron is best).
- Dredge each piece in flour, press in with finger tips. Re-dredge in flour again and place carefully in hot oil for 1 minute and then turn back heat to medium.
- Fry steak 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove, drain on a separate plate.
- Remove all but 2-3 Tbs of oil, over medium high heat, sprinkle with 3 Tbs flour, whisking until well mixed and roux browns.
- Add water, bouillon cube and remaining seasoning. Mix until gravy begins to thicken slightly. Test taste for spice as this is the time to adjust (salt or water).
- Replace steak back in gravy and spread onion rings over the tops.
- Cover and simmer 30-40 minutes.
Tips:
- Use a good quality cube steak. Look for steaks that are at least 1/2 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
- Tenderize the steak before cooking. This will help to break down the connective tissue and make the steak more tender. You can tenderize the steak by pounding it with a meat mallet or by using a commercial meat tenderizer.
- Season the steak liberally before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the steak.
- Cook the steak over medium heat. This will help to prevent the steak from becoming tough or dry.
- Cook the steak until it is cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side. For medium, cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side. For medium-well, cook the steak for about 5-6 minutes per side.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and juicy.
- Serve the steak with your favorite gravy and sides.
