Ingredients
- 4 pieces cubed steak
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 cups white rice
- 3 cups water
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) parsley
Directions
Step 1
Season the cubed steak on both sides with the salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each piece of cubed steak in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cubed steak and sear each side for about 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the steak and set aside.
Step 4
Lower the heat to medium, add the butter to the skillet, and allow it to melt. Stir in the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Step 5
Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet to create a rich gravy base. Simmer the gravy for 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Return the seared cubed steak to the skillet, ensuring it is submerged in the gravy. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, flipping the steaks halfway through.
Step 7
While the steak simmers, combine the white rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
Step 8
Serve the cubed steak over a bed of rice, spooning gravy over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy!
