Welcome to the world of comfort food with our Tender Cube Steak Delight. This dish transforms humble cube steak into a tender, flavorful meal that’s perfect for a cozy evening at home. Let's dive in and create something truly satisfying.
Cube steak is the star here, known for its tenderness when cooked properly. The all-purpose flour creates a crispy crust that locks in juices. A pinch of salt and black pepper seasons everything perfectly. Vegetable oil is used for searing, giving the steak a beautiful crust. Beef broth adds depth to the sauce, while sliced onions and sliced mushrooms bring in earthy flavors. A dash of Worcestershire sauce enhances the umami profile, and a touch of butter at the end adds richness and gloss to the finished dish.
Pair this tender cube steak with creamy mashed potatoes or buttered noodles to soak up all that delicious sauce. A side of roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad can add a fresh contrast to the rich flavors.
First, grab a shallow dish and mix together the flour, salt, and black pepper. This is going to be your dredging station. Take each piece of cube steak and coat it thoroughly with the flour mixture. Make sure both sides are well-covered; this will help seal in moisture during cooking.
Heat up your vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place your coated steaks in the pan. Sear each side for about 3-4 minutes. You’re looking for a nice golden-brown color on both sides. Once they’re browned, remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, toss in your sliced onions and sliced mushrooms. Sauté these until they’re soft and starting to caramelize — about 5 minutes should do the trick. Now, stir in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
Carefully return the steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and let everything simmer for about 15-20 minutes. This slow cooking will make the steaks tender and infuse them with all those wonderful flavors. Just before serving, stir in the butter until it's melted and incorporated into the sauce. This adds a lovely shine and richness.
