Cube Steak

This meltingly tender slow-cooker recipe is the perfect introduction to cube steak, a tenderized cut of beef that's rich beyond its price tag.

Ingreadient

• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 6 beef cube steaks (4 ounces each)
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 large onion, sliced and separated into rings
• 3 cups water, divided
• 1 envelope brown gravy mix
• 1 envelope mushroom gravy mix
• 1 envelope onion gravy mix
• Hot mashed potatoes or cooked noodles

Step by step

1. Place flour in shallow dish. Add steaks, 1 or 2 at a time, and turn to coat completely.
2. In a skillet, cook steaks in oil until lightly browned on each side. Transfer to a 3-qt. slow cooker. Add the onion and 2 cups water. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until meat is tender.
3. In a bowl, whisk together gravy mixes with remaining water. Add to slow cooker; cook 30 minutes longer. Serve over mashed potatoes or noodles.
