CUBE STEAK RECIPE

Steps:

• See notes section below for Slow Cooker instructions.
• Seasoning Prep: Combine the meat seasoning mix and set aside.
• Gravy Prep: Combine the cornstarch and cold water in a medium bowl and whisk until incorporated and smooth. Add 1 cup chicken broth, 1 cup beef broth, 1 beef bouillon, 1 tsp onion powder, ½ tsp garlic powder and 1 ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce. Whisk to combine and set aside.
• Meat Prep: Place saran wrap over each cube steak and use the rough end of a meat tenderizer to pound it thin, about ½ inch thick or so. This really makes a nice difference in the consistency of the meat even though cube steak has already been tenderized.
• Rub seasoning mix on each side of the steak, then rub with flour.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear 2 steaks at a time for about 3 minutes per side. (Add a splash more olive oil if needed and adjust heat up or down slightly as needed as the steaks cook.) Set steaks on a plate to rest.
• Leave the meat flecks in the pan, this is called "fond" and it will add flavor to the gravy. If you have any black/burnt areas, use a damp paper towel to carefully clean that out.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat and use a silicone spatula to 'clean' the bottom of the pan. Add the onions and toss to coat. Cook the onions for 15-25 minutes, until desired consistency is obtained. I like mine very soft and reduced, almost caramelized. Be sure to stir them often as they cook.
• Add the liquid gravy mixture and use a silicone spatula to clean the bottom and sides of the pan once again. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
• Add the steaks and any juices back to the pan and spoon some gravy on the top of each steak. Simmer with the lid partially covered for 5 minutes or so, until the gravy is thickened and the meat is cooked to your liking.
• Optional: Remove from heat and melt 2 Tablespoons cold butter at the end for a silky, velvety finish. This is a technique that chefs use called "monter au beurre".
• Serve with mashed potatoes, buttermilk biscuits, and roasted carrots or green beans.

CUBE STEAKS AND GRAVY WITH CARROTS AND POTATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. In a plastic bag, mix the flour, salt and pepper, and add the meat, shaking gently until each piece is lightly coated. Heat the butter in the pressure cooker over medium heat ("browning" on an electric PC), add the meat and cook in small batches until browned on all sides, setting each batch aside until finished. 2. Add the onions to the cooker and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Deglaze the cooker with the broth, scraping up all those crusty, brown bits from the bottom. 3. Return the meat to the cooker; place the carrots evenly on top of the meat. Place the potatoes in steamer tray or foil packed with the top left open, on top of the carrots. (I used a strainer.) 4. Lock the lid in place. Bring to 15 psi (High pressure on the electric PC), immediately reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting to stabilize and maintain that pressure, and cook for 6 minutes. 5. Remove from the heat and use the natural release method to depressurize. (20 minutes on warm for the electric PC). Carefully open the lid after the pressure drops. Prepare mashed potatoes, place the carrots in a separate dish, and the meat on a platter. To thicken the broth, skim off any excess fat, make a slurry from the flour/salt/pepper mixture and 1/2 cup water. (I just added the flour to the PC), let simmer over medium heat until it reaches the desired consistency. Serve the gravy in a separate bowl to spoon over the meat and potatoes.
