Cube Steaks and Gravy

Simple beef cube steaks are lightly fried and then smothered in a savory onion gravy. It’s the ultimate comfort food served over mashed potatoes or noodles.

Ingredients :
  • 2 pounds cube steaks
  • ⅓ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 large yellow onions sliced into ¼" rings
  • ½ cup red wine or beef broth
  • 3-4 cups beef broth + 1 cup, not low sodium
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or ½ teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or as needed
Directions :
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. On a shallow dish or plate, combine flour, kosher salt, and pepper. Lightly coat each cube steak with the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  3. In a 4qt Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Brown the cube steaks for 2 minutes on each side (adding additional olive oil if needed) or until lightly browned. Remove from the Dutch oven and set aside.
  4. Add the butter to the Dutch oven and cook the onions over medium heat until tender. Add the wine, scraping up any brown bits, and simmer over medium heat until reduced by half.
  5. Add the beef broth, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and rosemary and stir to combine. Add the browned steaks, cover, and place in the oven. Bake covered for 2 ½ to 3 hours or until fork-tender. Halfway through cooking, add 1 more cup of broth if needed to ensure the meat is covered with liquid.
  6. Place the Dutch oven on the stovetop and transfer the steaks to a plate. Loosely cover with foil.
  7. Turn the stove on to medium-high heat and bring the gravy to a boil.
  8. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the gravy, stirring until thickened. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  9. Serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
