Ingredients
Instructions
- Roll steaks in flour, salt, and pepper.
- Brown the coated steaks in oil.
- Remove steaks from the pan.

Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful gravy, consider adding sautéed onions or mushrooms to the pan after browning the flour. If you don't have broth, water can be used, though it will be less rich. For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend. This dish can also benefit from a splash of Worcestershire sauce for added depth, similar to the flavor profile in Beef Stew With Wine.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the baked steak and gravy over mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious sauce. Pair it with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a well-rounded meal. This hearty dish is perfect for a family dinner and goes well with crusty bread. For additional inspiration, browse more American recipes that feature comforting flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute cube steaks with other cuts like sirloin or flank steak. Just ensure they are tenderized adequately to achieve the desired texture. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the meat.
What can I do if my gravy is too thick?
