An old-fashioned, comforting dish featuring tender cube steak simmered in a rich tomato, onion, and pepper gravy. Perfect for a cozy family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs cube steak
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge cube steak in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the cube steak on both sides. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Stir in crushed tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  5. Return the browned cube steak to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the steak is very tender.
  6. Serve hot, spooning gravy over the steak.

Notes

  • This dish can be made ahead and reheated.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles to soak up the delicious gravy.
  • For a deeper flavor, you can add a splash of red wine to the tomato mixture.
