About Cube steak
Cube steak, often derived from beef round or top sirloin, is a cut of beef characterized by its tenderized texture achieved through mechanical pounding. Named for its distinctive cubed appearance, this inexpensive cut is popular in American cuisine, especially in comfort dishes like country-fried steak. Cube steak is rich in protein and essential nutrients such as iron and B vitamins, supporting muscle health and energy metabolism. However, its fat content varies depending on preparation methods, especially if fried or paired with rich gravies. Compared to more marbled cuts, cube steak is relatively lean, making it a versatile option for health-conscious cooking when grilled or baked. Its tenderness and ability to absorb flavors make it ideal for meals that require hearty yet affordable protein, appealing to a wide range of culinary traditions.
