Preparing Country-Style Steak
Cooking Country-Style Steak is straightforward, making it a great option for both novice and experienced cooks. Start by dredging the cube steak in a seasoned flour mixture—it gives the meat a lovely crust when it’s browned. After that, you’ll sauté the onions for a few minutes to unleash their sweetness before combining everything in one pot. Simmering the steak in beef broth gives it an incredible depth of flavor and ensures it turns out tender and juicy.
