Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 cube steaks
salt
black pepper
cajun seasoning, to taste (i used almost 1 tablespoon total)
1/4 c flour (approximate)
vegetable oil, for frying
4 c sliced mushrooms (i used button mushromoms, but i think cremini would also be good)
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 c low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves

Steps:

1. Season both sides of cube steaks with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning. Rub a little flour into both sides of each cube steak.
2. Heat vegetable oil in skillet over over medium heat. Add cube steaks and cook 5 minutes each side. Remove cooked steaks to a platter, and cover with foil to keep warm.
3. Add mushrooms, onion and garlic to skillet with pan drippings, and cook about 5 minutes or until mushrooms and onions are tender, stirring frequently to scrape up browned bits from the skillet. (I added a little Cajun seasoning too, but that wasn't in the original recipe.)
4. Stir 2 tablespoons of flour into the gravy. Add the broth and thyme, and stir well. Cook over medium heat until gravy is thickened. Return cube steaks to skillet and heat several minutes in the gravy, turn and cook other side for several minutes or until heated through and cooked thoroughly. Add a little more broth if the gravy thickens too quickly.

Tips:

Use a meat mallet to tenderize the cube steaks before cooking. This will help them cook evenly and become more tender.
Season the cube steaks with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before dredging them in flour. This will help them develop a flavorful crust.
Use a large skillet to cook the cube steaks in. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from overcrowding.
Cook the cube steaks over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Do not overcook them, or they will become tough.
Make sure the gravy is thickened before serving. You can do this by adding a cornstarch slurry or by simmering the gravy until it reduces.
Serve the smothered cube steaks with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.
