Ingredients
- 4 Cubed Steaks approx. 1.5 lbs
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1 Large Onion thinly sliced
- 8 oz Baby Bella Mushrooms sliced
- 2 cups Beef Broth Cold
- 1 tsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- Fresh Parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Press each cubed steak firmly into the flour mixture until well-coated, then shake off excess.
- Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3 minutes per side until golden brown, then remove and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté the sliced onions and mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until softened and browned.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the leftover dredging flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the cold beef broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Once the gravy begins to thicken, return the seared steaks to the skillet and spoon the gravy over them.
- Cover with a lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the steaks are fork-tender. Garnish with parsley and serve.
