Ingredients
- 4 pieces cubed steak
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to mix evenly.
Step 2
Dredge each piece of cubed steak in the seasoned flour, coating both sides completely. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium heat until hot and shimmering.
Step 4
Add the floured cubed steak to the skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the steak and set aside on a plate.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized.
Step 6
Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a spoon to deglaze and combine the flavors.
Step 7
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly stir the slurry into the skillet to thicken the gravy.
Step 8
Return the cooked cubed steak to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 25 minutes, allowing the meat to become tender and absorb the flavors.
Step 9
Taste the gravy and adjust salt and pepper as needed before serving.
Step 10
Serve the cubed steak with the gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a complete meal.
