TIPS for Making Cube Steak with Gravy
- Cube Steaks are best cooked in a cast iron pan or a large skillet, so you can cook them evenly all at once and get a nice crust, without overcrowding the pan.
- If you only have a medium-sized skillet, cook in batches. An overcrowded pan lowers the oil temperature, causing you to cook the meat longer. Your meat will be overcooked and oily.
- Tenderizing the cube steak is really important to get a flavorful, evenly cooked, tender cut of beef that cooks fast.
- Flatten the meat tenderizer mallet until desired thickness, making sure they are all even so you don’t overcook them.
