Cube Steak in Brown Mushroom Gravy

Looks like a lot of steps, but this meal is absolutely simple, quick to make, and full of flavor. My hubby's not a cube steak fan and THIS is how I finally got him to enjoy it! I even throw in a little splash of balsamic or red wine vinegar with the broth from time to time to amp up the flavor profile. Yum!

Ingredient

4 pieces

cube steak

1 cup

flour

1 tbs

seasoned salt

1/2 tsp

black pepper

4 tbs

butter - divided

2 tbs

vegetable oil

12 oz

button mushrooms - sliced

1/2 tsp

dried thyme

2 cups

beef broth

to taste

Additional salt and pepper

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Place flour, seasoned salt, and pepper in a wide, shallow dish (like a pie plate). Stir to combine.

* Step 2

Heat a large deep sided sautée pan over medium high heat. Add vegetable oil and 2 tbs of the butter.

* Step 3

Lightly season both sides of each cube steak with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour to coat, gently tapping off excess so coating is nice and light.

* Step 4

When oil and butter are nice and hot place cube steaks in pan. Cook 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Set aside.

* Step 5

Add mushrooms to pan. Sprinkle with thyme. Cook until mushrooms begin to soften, stirring frequently. About 5 minutes.

* Step 6

Add remaining 2 tbs butter to pan. As soon as it melts stir in 4 tbs of the flour used to coat the cube steaks. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

* Step 7

Wisk in beef broth. Increase heat to medium high. Bring to a simmer until gravy thickens, wisking frequently.

* Step 8

As soon as gravy thickens return cube steaks to pan, turning to coat evenly with gravy. Reduce heat to low. Let rest 5 minutes for cube steaks to heat through and soak in some of that gravy.

* Step 9

Serve with mashed potatoes and a side salad to complete your tasty meal. Enjoy!

* Step 10

Note: As always, taste for seasoning before serving. I usually give the mushrooms a light sprinkling of salt and pepper as they cook, but almost never add salt beyond that point. It's up to you to determine how you want it seasoned.
