Ingredients

• 4 pieces Cube steaks
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Red onion
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 cup Beef stock
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the steaks and rub them lightly to coat.

Step 4

Grill the cube steaks for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove from the grill and let rest under foil while you make the sauce.

Step 5

Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 6

In a medium skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the red onion slices to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes or until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 8

Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 9

Stir in the balsamic vinegar, beef stock, butter, and sugar. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has slightly thickened.

Step 10

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning, if necessary, with a pinch of salt or sugar.

Step 11

Plate the rested cube steaks and generously spoon the red onion sauce over the top.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Pair with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
