A delicious way to improve Cube Steak
Ready in: 3 hours 20 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 2 pounds Cube Steak
• 2 lbs Round Steak
• 2 c yellow mustard
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 c flour
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 TBS Oil
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil or bacon drippings
• 3 small cans button mushrooms
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cans beef consomme
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 1/2 cups beef broth

Preparation method

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 3 hours

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Add enough of the bacon drippings or vegetable oil to just cover the bottom of a 4 to 5-quart Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a plate and repeat until all of the steaks have been browned.
3. Remove the last steaks from the pot and add the onions, garlic, and celery. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Next add the tomatoes, paprika, oregano, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth and stir to combine. Return the meat to the pot, submerging it in the liquid. Cover the pot and place it in the oven on the middle rack. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender and falling apart.
4. Place in baking dish with drained mushrooms and consommee.
5. Bake, covered 3 hours at 200.
6. Dredge the pieces of meat on both sides in the flour mixture.
7. Tenderize on both sides with tenderizer mallet or side of a plate. If you use a plate, do it criss-cross. It’s ok if the meat breaks.
8. Coat Steaks in mustard and dredge through flour.
9. Cut into servings.
10. Brown both sides in oil.
11. Can also do in slow cooker, but unsure of time.Cook Information Cleanup:
