Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 4-6 ounces each) Cube steak
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.

Step 2

Dredge each piece of cube steak in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the butter for extra flavor.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, cook the cube steaks for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the steaks and set them aside.

Step 5

To the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of the remaining seasoned flour mixture and whisk for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 6

Slowly whisk in the beef broth and milk, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually add it to the skillet, whisking constantly, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Return the cooked cube steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 20-25 minutes to tenderize the meat.

Step 9

Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve the country-style steak hot with mashed potatoes or rice.
