Ingredients:
- 850 grams cubed steak (tenderized round steak or sirloin)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 14-oz can beef broth
- 1 large onion, sliced into rings
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker gravy)
Instructions:
Step 1: In a shallow bowl, combine flour, ground black pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Coat the cubed steak pieces evenly with this seasoned flour mixture.
Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the coated steak pieces for 5-7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
Step 3: Remove the cooked steak from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 4: In the same skillet, add beef broth, sliced onion, and dry onion soup mix. Stir to combine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the onions are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5: (Optional) For a smoother, thicker gravy, mix cornstarch with a small amount of water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the simmering gravy until it reaches your desired consistency.
Step 6: Return the cooked steak to the skillet and coat with the onion gravy. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serving Suggestion: Serve this hearty cubed steak with onion gravy over mashed potatoes, biscuits, or rice. It’s a family-friendly meal that’s sure to become a favorite!
Enjoy this delicious, comforting dish that’s perfect for a cozy dinner!
