Ingredients

• 4 pieces cubed steak
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Pat the cubed steak dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Dredge each piece of cubed steak in the flour mixture, coating evenly, and set aside.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 5

Add the dredged cubed steak to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the steaks and set them aside on a plate.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 7

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the leftover seasoned flour mixture over the onions and stir. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 8

Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, ensuring no lumps remain. Bring the gravy to a simmer.

Step 9

Return the browned cubed steak to the skillet, nestling it into the gravy. Spoon some gravy over the top of the steaks.

Step 10

Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the steak to simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until it is fork-tender and the gravy has thickened.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Serve the country-style steak hot, smothered in the onion gravy, alongside mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the sauce!
