Description

Pan-fried cube steaks are slow-cooked with onion and garlic in a tomato-based sauce for an easy version of a classic beef recipe.

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.
