Ingredients

For the Cube Steak:

  • 4 cube steaks (about 1 lb total)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter

For the Onion Gravy:

  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cube Steak

  1. Pat the cube steaks dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge each steak in the flour, pressing gently to coat evenly. Shake off excess.
  3. Heat the oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

2. Make the Onion Gravy

  1. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the sliced onions.
  2. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and golden. Add a splash of broth if they start to stick.
  3. Stir in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Simmer for 5–10 minutes. If a thicker gravy is desired, mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water, then stir it in and cook for 2–3 more minutes.

3. Simmer the Steaks

  1. Return the cube steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy.
  2. Spoon gravy over the steaks and simmer for 5–7 minutes to meld the flavors.

4. Serve and Enjoy

Serve hot over creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or your favorite side. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
