Smothered Cube Steak

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1.5 pounds cube steak
1 teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper (adjust to taste)
1 large sweet onion (chopped)
8 ounces baby bella mushrooms (sliced)
2 tablespoons garlic (minced)
8 ounces whipping cream
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons dried thyme or Italian seasonings
1 cup sour cream(optional garnish) chopped fresh parsley or sliced green onion
 

Directions:

    • Preheat oven to 325° F. Preheat oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
    • While your cast-iron skillet is heating, season the cube steaks with salt and pepper.
    • Once the oil just starts to smoke, sear the steaks for 1½ minutes on each side. Transfer steaks to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
    • Add the mushrooms, onions, and garlic to the skillet and sautee until the onions are translucent and tender.
    • Reduce heat to medium and add the whipping cream, worcestershire sauce, and thyme/Italian seasonings.
    • Bring to a simmer and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the cream is reduced by a third and starts to thicken, about 6 to 8 minutes.
    • Add the sour cream and whisk until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together.
    • Place the steaks back into the skillet and smother them with the gravy.
    • Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes or until fork tender.
    • Optional: Season gravy to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onion and serve.
 

Enjoy!
