Ingredients

• 4 pieces cube steaks
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season the cube steaks on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Dredge the seasoned steaks in all-purpose flour, making sure to shake off any excess.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cube steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until wilted.

Step 7

Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let the sauce cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened.

Step 9

Return the cube steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the steaks.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the steaks simmer for 10-12 minutes, until tender and cooked through.

Step 11

Serve the Cube Steak Florentine hot, with the creamy spinach sauce spooned over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
