Ingredients for cube steak and gravy on a table

Cube steak ingredients

Cubed steak: These are usually made by mechanically tenderizing round steak. Sometimes they are called minute steaks.

Seasoning: I used salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.

Mushrooms: I like mushrooms in my gravy but you can leave them out.

Onion: It helps to make a tasty gravy.

Flour: I help the steaks to brown and is also used to make a roux. The roux will thicken the gravy.

Chicken stock: I used chicken stock but beef broth will add more beefy flavor.

Worshisire sauce: Adds a bit of saltiness and an umami punch.

Seasoned cube steaks dusted with flour

The seasoning can be prepared by mixing salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, onion powder, and Italian seasoning together in a small bowl. The ingredients should be mixed together well.

Cubed steaks should be sprinkled with the seasoning mix before breading. The rest of the seasoning should be added to the flour and mixed together.

Add two tablespoons of seasoned flour to the cube steaks and coat them with the flour. It is important to shake off any excess that may remain.

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1/4 cup oil. Add the steaks and cook until they are brown on both sides. As soon as the steaks are browned take them out of the pan and set them aside.

Now we can start working on the gravy. The mushrooms and onions should be added to the pan at this point. On medium heat, cook them until golden brown.

To the pan with the mushrooms and onions, add the remaining seasoned flour and stir to combine. The flour should be brown by the time it is finished cooking.

As a final step in making the gravy, add the broth and whisk it until it is combined. Taste the mixture for seasoning and add Worcestershire sauce if necessary.

Once the cubed steaks have been returned to the pan, simmer them in the gravy until they are tender, this should take about thirty minutes or so.

Now that the cube steaks and gravy have been prepared, they can be served. If you serve this over mashed cauliflower, it would be a perfect meal.
