This was served to us at my grandmother’s home. She’s a German native. You’ll enjoy this if you enjoy salt on your watermelon.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound cube steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ cup all-purpose flour for coating
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
- 2 cups water, or as needed
- salt and pepper to taste
- garlic salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat cube steak pieces with flour, and shake off the excess. Fry steak pieces in the hot oil just until browned on each side and there are some juices in the pan. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Stir together the onion soup mix and 1 tablespoon of flour; sprinkle into the skillet. Cook and stir over medium heat until it starts to brown. Gradually mix in the water to make a gravy. Return the cube steak to the pan, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Cover, and simmer over low heat for about 1 hour.

Gotta be one if not the best way to serve tender country style steak with a delicious gravy!
good recipe that was used on venison cubed steak! the meat was very tender and flavor was great, but the gravy a bit too thin
This is a good recipe for cube steaks, but I am one of those that changed the recipe a bit! I used a package of low sodium brown gravy mix, but used 2 cups of water rather than 1 to make more gravy. I simmer the meat in the gravy for an hour or so, then add a thinly sliced potato-which is enough for 2-3 people. I continue to simmer this until the potatoes are tender, and by that time, the cube steaks are really tender as well!
No need to cube the cube steak, leave it whole for the authentic dish. I made 2lbs of meat, simply double the ingredients, except the water for the gravy you will need to eyeball. I used less than 4 cups. I served with corn off the cob with a sprinkling of dry rub and steamed crown of broccoli. Reminds me of childhood, you may remember this dish being called Smothered Steak. Nary a person who grew up in the Midwest who hasn’t had this.
I always believe in following the recipe exactly on the first try, and this recipe did NOT disappoint. I almost lost faith in trying to cook cube steaks as they were always tough. This recipe; they turned out so tender and flavorful!
Good recipe. I added a TBL spoon of Worcestershire to the gravy.
Really easy. The longer you cook it, the more tender it becomes. Be sure you have some sort of pasta, mashed potato, etc. for the gravy!
oh my God is this good. never thought you could make cube steaks like this. the only thing I did different was I deglazed the pan with a little bit of cheap red wine, added fresh mushrooms and a tablespoon of minced garlic instead of the garlic salt. served it over elbow macaroni. this recipe is definitely a keeper
Simple and good
Very good.
Very good. Make extra.
This recipe was amazing! It is absolutely the best country style steak I’ve ever tasted or made! Kuddos to the creator!!
Tender, tasty and easy. I did add some sliced sautéed onion to the skillet, but otherwise held to the recipe. Great recipe for the work week.
Took me back to a simpler time in my childhood
Delicious. I added a little wine, worcestershire and chopped onions. Served over garlic mashed potatoes.
Made this a few weeks ago and everyone loved it. Was great on wide noodles. Making it again tonight. I did omit the salt and used garlic powder instead of garlic salt. Had a little sour cream in the fridge so served it in a separate bowl and it was delicious with a dollop on top of the meat. You could just mix some in the gravy and have a stroganoff type meal.
I love this recipe, so much flavor. I follow it exactly but had to add more water as it simmers. I have boiled the water right out of this more than once. ???????
No changes made, I will make again!
I made this exactly as the recipe read. My husband loved it. I like the brown gravy much better than the milk gravy. I will be making this again. Delicious!!
This was easy to make and tasty. I will definitely make it again. I used some red wine with the water for the gravy and added some cooked onions. Next time I’m going to try some sautéed sliced mushrooms.
This was excellent! Making it again tonight.
