Oven Cube Steak
This easy oven cube steak recipe is a comforting, no-fuss dinner that’s perfect for busy weeknights or cozy family meals.
Ingredients
- 4 beef cube steaks
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 medium onion thinly sliced
- 2 cups beef broth or chicken broth for chicken cube steak
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 can 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Optional:
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This temperature ensures the cube steak cooks evenly and stays tender.
Season the cube steaks
- Sprinkle both sides of the cube steaks with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Gently pat the seasoning onto the meat to help it stick.
Brown the steaks
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the cube steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step locks in flavor and creates a nice crust. Remove the steaks and set aside.
Prepare the gravy
- In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onions until softened. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Add the cream of mushroom soup and stir until smooth.
Assemble the dish
- Place the browned cube steaks in a baking dish or back into the skillet if oven-safe. Pour the gravy over the steaks, ensuring they’re fully coated. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake to perfection
- Bake the cube steaks in the preheated oven for 1 hour. The meat will become tender, and the flavors will meld beautifully.
Serve and enjoy
- Remove the cube steaks from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve with your favorite sides.
