The dish is often served with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, and a side of vegetables.

The first recipe is a classic country-style steak made with a simple tomato-based sauce. The second recipe is a more flavorful version that uses a red wine sauce.

COUNTRY-STYLE STEAK
Mmmm...mmm... This is the recipe that my momma passed down to me. Born and raised in the South, and my momma was raised on a farm, so my family knows a lot about southern cookin'. With this recipe, don't be shy to add other spices to it. This goes great with mashed potatoes, green beans and sweet tea. You can use the gravy from the steak for the mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Mix the flour, black pepper, seasoned salt, and garlic powder together in a shallow bowl, and coat the cube steaks thoroughly with the flour mixture, patting the flour onto the steaks to get a good coating. Retain 3 tablespoons of seasoned flour.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and pan-fry the cube steaks until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Place the steaks into a 9x12-inch baking dish. Whisk the retained seasoned flour into the beef broth until smooth, and pour the broth over the steaks. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the meat is tender and the gravy has thickened, about 2 hours.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the flour into a pie pan. Dredge the pieces of meat on both sides in the flour. Tenderize the meat, using a needling device, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick. Dredge in the flour again and set aside.
- Add enough of the vegetable oil or bacon fat to just cover the bottom of a 4 to 5-quart Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a plate and repeat until all of the steaks have been browned.
- Remove the last steaks from the pot and add the chicken broth and thyme and whisk until the liquid just comes to a boil. Return the steaks to the pot and make sure they are all submerged in the liquid. Cover the pot and place it in the oven on the middle rack. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender and falling apart.

Steps:
- 1. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Put some oil or crisco in skillet to fry the steaks in.
- 2. Roll in flour and brown in hot grease in skillet. You want to get them done and the crock pot will make them really tender.
- 3. Spray crock pot with Pam before you turn it on to get hot.
- 4. As the steaks begin to get done, layer them in the crock pot.
- 5. Put the 1/2 cup of flour in the left over grease in the skillet and brown lightly to medium color to make the gravy. Add the hot water. When it begins to thicken, pour over steaks. Cook on low heat at least half a day.
- 6. If you are cooking for more people, then just double the recipe. I buy steaks that will feed our family. If the steaks are a good size then I cut in half to make more. It's all depends on how many you are serving. Use your own judgement to how much you are going to make.

Quick, easy, inexpensive, low in fat, and taste WONDERFUL! Cubed steak is normally very lean, and becaused tenderized ("cubed") makes a wonderful steak gravy meal. No need to flour the meat; the soup will provide the necessary thickness for gravy.

- About 20 minutes before grilling, remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let sit, covered, at room temperature.
- Heat your grill to high. Brush the steaks on both sides with oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the grill and cook until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the steaks over and continue to grill 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare (an internal temperature of 135 degrees F), 5 to 7 minutes for medium (140 degrees F) or 8 to 10 minutes for medium-well (150 degrees F).
- Transfer the steaks to a cutting board or platter, tent loosely with foil and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
EASY COUNTRY STYLE STEAK
Perfect for when you need something easy that the kids will love. My kids would beg for this with rice or potatoes and, of course, bread to soak up the gravy. Certainly may use sliced onions rather than chopped.Note: After some of the reviews I realized that even though it is quick to put together the cooking does take some time so I have changed the title.
