Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cube steaks
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp gluten-free flour
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat the cube steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Dust the cube steaks lightly with gluten-free flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Sear the cube steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove steaks from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add diced onions and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until onions are translucent and mushrooms have released their moisture.
- Pour beef broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Return the seared cube steaks to the skillet, reducing heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 15-18 minutes until steaks are tender.
- Remove steaks from the skillet and keep warm.
- Reduce the remaining liquid in the skillet by half, about 3-4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Return steaks to the skillet, coating them with the sauce. Heat for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve hot, spooning extra sauce over the cube steaks.
Tips
- Pat the cube steaks completely dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect golden-brown sear.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet for even heat distribution and better browning.
- Don't rush the searing process - a good golden crust adds incredible flavor to the dish.
- When adding sour cream, keep the heat low to prevent curdling.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a sprinkle of fresh thyme.
- If the sauce is too thick, thin it out with a little additional beef broth.
- Let the steaks rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juiciness.
- Serve over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles to keep it low-carb and gluten-free.
