Ingredients

• 4 pieces cube steaks
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Dredge each cube steak in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cube steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until softened and golden.

Step 4

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the leftover seasoned flour into the skillet with the onions and mushrooms. Stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring to create a smooth gravy. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 7

Return the seared cube steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30 minutes, or until the steaks are tender and fully cooked.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot with mashed potatoes or rice.
