Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure the cube steak is evenly coated with flour before frying to create a nice crust. If you want to enhance the flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the onion soup mixture. You can substitute cornstarch with flour for thickening if needed, but adjust the quantity as flour is less potent. For a twist, incorporate mushrooms or bell peppers into the sauce.
