Steps:
- See notes section below for Slow Cooker instructions.
- Seasoning Prep: Combine the meat seasoning mix and set aside.
- Gravy Prep: Combine the cornstarch and cold water in a medium bowl and whisk until incorporated and smooth. Add 1 cup chicken broth, 1 cup beef broth, 1 beef bouillon, 1 tsp onion powder, ½ tsp garlic powder and 1 ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- Meat Prep: Place saran wrap over each cube steak and use the rough end of a meat tenderizer to pound it thin, about ½ inch thick or so. This really makes a nice difference in the consistency of the meat even though cube steak has already been tenderized.
- Rub seasoning mix on each side of the steak, then rub with flour.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear 2 steaks at a time for about 3 minutes per side. (Add a splash more olive oil if needed and adjust heat up or down slightly as needed as the steaks cook.) Set steaks on a plate to rest.
- Leave the meat flecks in the pan, this is called "fond" and it will add flavor to the gravy. If you have any black/burnt areas, use a damp paper towel to carefully clean that out.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat and use a silicone spatula to 'clean' the bottom of the pan. Add the onions and toss to coat. Cook the onions for 15-25 minutes, until desired consistency is obtained. I like mine very soft and reduced, almost caramelized. Be sure to stir them often as they cook.
- Add the liquid gravy mixture and use a silicone spatula to clean the bottom and sides of the pan once again. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- Add the steaks and any juices back to the pan and spoon some gravy on the top of each steak. Simmer with the lid partially covered for 5 minutes or so, until the gravy is thickened and the meat is cooked to your liking.
- Optional: Remove from heat and melt 2 Tablespoons cold butter at the end for a silky, velvety finish. This is a technique that chefs use called "monter au beurre".
- Serve with mashed potatoes, buttermilk biscuits, and roasted carrots or green beans.

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.

Steps:
- 1. In a plastic bag, mix the flour, salt and pepper, and add the meat, shaking gently until each piece is lightly coated. Heat the butter in the pressure cooker over medium heat ("browning" on an electric PC), add the meat and cook in small batches until browned on all sides, setting each batch aside until finished. 2. Add the onions to the cooker and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Deglaze the cooker with the broth, scraping up all those crusty, brown bits from the bottom. 3. Return the meat to the cooker; place the carrots evenly on top of the meat. Place the potatoes in steamer tray or foil packed with the top left open, on top of the carrots. (I used a strainer.) 4. Lock the lid in place. Bring to 15 psi (High pressure on the electric PC), immediately reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting to stabilize and maintain that pressure, and cook for 6 minutes. 5. Remove from the heat and use the natural release method to depressurize. (20 minutes on warm for the electric PC). Carefully open the lid after the pressure drops. Prepare mashed potatoes, place the carrots in a separate dish, and the meat on a platter. To thicken the broth, skim off any excess fat, make a slurry from the flour/salt/pepper mixture and 1/2 cup water. (I just added the flour to the PC), let simmer over medium heat until it reaches the desired consistency. Serve the gravy in a separate bowl to spoon over the meat and potatoes.

Tips:
- Tenderize the Cube Steaks: Use a meat mallet or the back of a heavy knife to tenderize the cube steaks before cooking. This will help break down the tough fibers and make the steaks more tender.
- Season the Steaks Generously: Season the steaks with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika before cooking. This will add flavor and depth to the steaks.
- Brown the Steaks in Butter: Brown the steaks in a skillet with butter over medium-high heat. This will create a flavorful crust on the outside of the steaks and help seal in the juices.
- Simmer the Steaks in Gravy: After browning, simmer the steaks in a flavorful gravy made with beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste. This will help tenderize the steaks and infuse them with even more flavor.
- Add Vegetables: Add carrots and potatoes to the skillet with the steaks and gravy. This will create a complete and hearty meal in one pan.
- Serve with Mashed Potatoes or Rice: Serve the cube steaks and gravy with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up all the delicious sauce.
