Cube Steak with Rice

My son is 3 and the woman he marries better be able to whip up his favorite meal: cube steak with rice.  My cube steak with homemade gravy is one of his favorite meals and this kid can pack it way. Ladies, if you ever want to whip your man up a hearty meal, try this one. ;)

Season the cube steak with a little seasoning salt and broiled steak seasoning. You may want to beat it a little to tenderize it. Next, lightly flour  them.

Brown/fry them in regular cooking oil (olive oil burns quickly). They cook pretty fast so it shouldn't take too long. Be sure to keep flipping them over so they don't burn. Drain on a paper towel when they are done.

You will have "crust" (flour) stuck to the bottom of the pan. Save it. Scrape it to loosen it up. Drain a little bit of the oil (there should be abour 3 tablespoons left in there).

After releasing the "crust", throw some chopped onions into the skillet. Sautee until the  onions turn translucent.

Mix half a cup of flour and almost two cups of water. Make sure all the flour has been dissolved into the water. This is going to be your gravy.

Pour it right over into the skillet with the onions, "crust", and oil.

Keep the heat low and keep stirring the mixture. As it heats, it will thicken. If you want a thinner gravy, add more water. If you want it thicker, add more of the flour and water mixture.

As it thickens, season it black pepper.

And sea salt. See it thickening up? Keep stirring and be sure to taste it to make sure its seasoned to your liking.

Turn the heat off and start adding your cube steak back into the skillet with the gravy.

Put them all in and mix into the gravy well.

Looks good huh? Turn the heat back on low and them slow simmer for about 15 minutes. Make sure you watch it and keep turning them so they don't stick.

Serve with some freshly snapped greens beans slow cooked with smoked turkey and served over rice. The gravy will be so good you can eat it over rice by itself.





Enjoy!
