Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the cube steaks in a mixture of soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce for an hour before cooking. If you don't have mushrooms, you can use a can of cream of mushroom soup as a substitute. You can also add bell peppers for extra flavor and color. Adjust the seasoning to your taste, especially if you prefer a spicier dish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Cube Steak Deluxe over a bed of mashed potatoes or egg noodles to soak up the delicious gravy. Pair it with steamed green beans or a side salad for a balanced meal. This dish also pairs beautifully with Bernie'S Dip for an appetizer or snack before the main course.
