Smothered Cube Steak

This Smothered Cube Steak is a southern classic comfort food. Cube steak fried to perfection, then covered with onion gravy, making it tender and delicious.

Growing up this was one of my favorite meals my stepmom cooked. She cooked it about once a week. We all loved it so much and it was so easy and affordable to make. She would fry up the cube steak and then top it with onion and mushroom gravy and serve it over mashed potatoes.

In my early stages of learning to cook I tried to make Cube steak with gravy. I’m not sure what went wrong, but it did not turn out as I had planned, so for years I was so scared to even try to cook it again. I finally got in the kitchen one day and was determined to learn how to make the best cube steak, since my husband had been asking for it. Ever since that day this has been my go-to recipe for cube steak.
