Cube Steak and Gravy
Ingredients
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 4 cube steaks 6 ounce
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2+ cups water
- 1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- Up to 2 cups milk or water
Instructions
- Season cube steaks with salt and pepper. In a shallow baking dish, pour the flour and press the steaks into the flour; shake off excess flour.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the cube steak and cook until browned, 3 minutes per side.
- Pour enough water in skillet to almost cover the meat. Stir in beef bouillon and salt to taste into the water.
- Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until very tender, about 2 hours.
- Remove meat from the skillet. Leave 2 tablespoons of drippings in the skillet (saving the rest). Stir in 2 tablespoons flour.
