Cube Steak Recipe
A quick, comforting, pan-fried meal that transforms budget-friendly cube steak into juicy perfection, topped with a rich, homemade gravy.
Ingredients
- 4 cube steak cuts pat dry
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder or 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika or regular paprika
- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or 1 Tbsp avocado oil + 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 small yellow onion thinly sliced
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth Swanson brand recommended
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 Tbsp cold water (for optional gravy thickening)
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Whisk flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Press cube steak into the flour mix, coating both sides. Shake off excess.
- Warm skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and coat the skillet.
- Cook steaks in batches until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
- Cook sliced onions in the same pan until caramelized.
- Pour in chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce. Let it simmer to develop flavors.
- If desired, add cornstarch slurry to thicken the gravy.
- Return steaks to the gravy, warm through, and garnish with parsley.
Notes
Pat the steak dry before dredging for a better crust. Use a cast-iron skillet for even searing. Rest the steaks before serving to lock in juices.
