Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat oil and butter in heavy skillet on medium to med-high heat. While heating, slice an onion and cut mushrooms into quarters.
- 2. Slightly pound the cube steaks. One pound of cube steak should equal 4 portions of the beef. If not, cut the steaks to make 4 servings. Salt and pepper to taste.
- 3. Mix together the flour, Panko, and seasonings (NOTE: instead of Season All seasoning, we use Bucks Multi-Purpose Seasoning, which is a great seasoning for many foods).
- 4. Dredge the cube steaks in the flour mixture and place in the heated skillet. Cook approximately 3 minutes on each side then remove from the skillet.
- 5. Add onions and mushrooms to the skillet. Saute for approximately 4 to 5 minutes until onions are translucent.
- 6. Add 2 tbsp of flour to the pan and stir until incorporated into the onions and mushrooms. Add the wine and stir to incorporate pan drippings. Then add the water, package of dry onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, and 2 tbsp tomato paste.
- 7. Return the cooked cube steaks to the gravy mixture. Place lid on pan and cook on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes until desired doneness. Serve over rice or with mashed potatoes and a vegetable of choice.
SWISS STEAK WITH TOMATO GRAVY
My grandmother made the best Swiss Steak when I was a kid. My favorite was her famous tomato gravy that it was cooked in. We always had it over boiled potatoes (old school). Over the years I have revamped the recipe a bit and the fam always requests it with rosemary garlic mashed potatoes so that's what they get. Hope you...

Steps:
- 1. To prepare steaks: In small container combine flour, garlic powder, black pepper and season salt. Dredge cube steaks in flour mixture and place on raised baking rack in fridge for an hour or two.
- 2. In the meantime slice onion and peppers into julienne strips. Line bottom of casserole dish with 1/2 of onion strips set aside.
- 3. Remove cube steaks from fridge, heat large skillet with 1T canola oil and brown the steaks on both sides. Place steaks on bed of onions. Be careful not to burn.
- 4. When steaks are all removed from skillet add remaining onion, and peppers to the skillet. Add 1 T. canola oil and saute until tender.
- 5. Create the gravy: Sprinkle 2T all purpose flour onto vegetables and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to remove raw flour taste. Deglaze the pan by adding wine and liquid from stewed tomatoes, mix well and let cook for another minute, add garlic, worcestershire, then slowly add water to create a thickened gravy like sauce. You may have to add a bit more or you may not use all of the water.
- 6. Break up the tomatoes and place over the cube steaks then pour the gravy over the cube steaks and cover your casserole dish with foil. Bake @ 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. 2 hours makes tough cuts more tender.

MIDWEST SWISS STEAK
Of course this is major comfort food. There are a lot of swiss steak recipes, many quite similar -- this is a great traditional one, with nothing weird to be found in it. A family favorite which I very much recommend. It's best to use steak that is cut at least 3/4" thick.

Steps:
- Rub the salt and pepper on to the cut steaks on one side only. In a large frying pan, pour in all the canola oil and half of the butter. Sear half of the steak meat and half of the raw onion rings over medium heat. When the steak is browned and the onions are tender (you can remove them at separate times as needed), sear the remaining steak and onions, adding the remaining butter.
- Blend the soups and the water in a mixing bowl.
- Place the browned steaks in a large oven-proof casserole dish after pouring in some of the soup mix to just cover the bottom. Drain the oil from the onions and spread them over the steak. Pour the remaining soup mix over the top.
- The casserole should be covered with foil and baked for 2 1/2 hours in a pre-heated, 350-degree F. oven.
- Serve with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes. The casserole generates adequate gravy.
