Ingredients
•
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
•
2 teaspoons salt
•
2 teaspoons dry mustard
•
1 teaspoon black pepper
•
2 pounds cube steak
•
1/4 cup vegetable oil
•
1 onion, sliced thin
•
2 cloves garlic, minced
•
3 cups beef broth
•
2 tablespoons tomato paste
•
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
•
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
•
2 teaspoons ground paprika
•
2 teaspoons ground thyme
•
2 teaspoons dried oregano
Directions
1
Mix together flour, salt, mustard, and pepper in a wide, shallow bowl. Add cube steaks to flour mixture; toss to coat completely.
2
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry steaks in hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a slow cooker, reserving drippings in the skillet.
3
Sauté onion and garlic in drippings in the skillet over medium heat until softened, 2 to 3 minutes; add to the slow cooker. Discard oil.
4
Stir together broth and tomato paste in a large bowl until paste is dissolved; add tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, thyme, and oregano. Pour broth mixture over steaks in the slow cooker.
5
Cook on Low until meat is tender and falling apart, 6 to 8 hours.
