Ingredients:

For Cubed Steak:

  • 4 cubed steaks (about 6 ounces each)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For Onion Gravy:

  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

For Cubed Steak:

  1. Preheat Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) to keep the cubed steaks warm while making the gravy.
  1. Season and Dredge:
  • Season the cubed steaks with salt and black pepper. Dredge each steak in flour, shaking off any excess.
  1. Sear Cubed Steaks:
  • In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed steaks and sear on both sides until golden brown. This may need to be done in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  1. Keep Warm:
  • Place the seared cubed steaks on a baking sheet and keep them warm in the preheated oven.

For Onion Gravy:

  1. Sauté Onions:
  • In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook over medium heat until softened and lightly browned.
  1. Make Roux:
  • Sprinkle flour over the sautéed onions and stir to create a roux. Cook for a couple of minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  1. Add Beef Broth:
  • Gradually whisk in beef broth, ensuring a smooth mixture. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens.
  1. Finish Gravy:
  • Stir in unsalted butter and season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer for a few more minutes until the flavors meld.
  1. Serve:
  • Spoon the onion gravy over the cubed steaks and serve immediately.
