Smothered Cube Steak And Potatoes Recipes

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.

SLOW COOKER SMOTHERED CUBE STEAK AND POTATOES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Season both sides of the cube steaks with garlic salt and black pepper OR you can season them with the montreal steak seasoning instead. Dredge the steaks in the seasoned all purpose flour. Pour olive oil into your skillet, just enough to coat the bottom of the skillet, and add 2 pats of butter to the skillet. Heat the oil and butter in the skillet being careful not to burn the butter as its heating and then brown the steaks in the skillet on both sides until they are golden brown and crisp, approximately 2 - 3 minutes on each side. Spray the inside liner of your crock pot with the cooking oil spray. Place the 4 browned cube steaks on the bottom of your crock pot. Pour 2 cups of water in a large glass and add the brown gravy mix. Stir with a fork until well blended and there are no lumps showing in the glass and then pour gravy mixture over the steaks. Crush 3 or 4 garlic cloves and then place the whole garlic cloves inside the crockpot. You can peel the garlic if you want or just throw them in as they will be removed and discarded after cooking. Spread the onions on top of the steaks in an even layer and then add the sliced potatoes on top of that. Put the 2 bay leaves in the slow cooker, cover with your lid and then cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 - 8 hours. After the steaks have cooked for the required amount of time, taste and re-season if needed and then add the 2 tbsp of worcestershire sauce to the crock pot about 15 minutes before serving.
