"Mmmm...mmm... This is the recipe that my momma passed down to me. Born and raised in the South, and my momma was raised on a farm, so my family knows a lot about southern cookin'. With this recipe, don't be shy to add other spices to it. This goes great with mashed potatoes, green beans and sweet tea. You can use the gravy from the steak for the mashed potatoes. " — hmclaurin

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix the flour, black pepper, seasoned salt, and garlic powder together in a shallow bowl, and coat the cube steaks thoroughly with the flour mixture, patting the flour onto the steaks to get a good coating. Retain 3 tablespoons of seasoned flour.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and pan-fry the cube steaks until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Place the steaks into a 9x12-inch baking dish. Whisk the retained seasoned flour into the beef broth until smooth, and pour the broth over the steaks. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until the meat is tender and the gravy has thickened, about 2 hours.

I was so excited to try this as it looked so good and got great reviews, but was very disappointed. I followed the recipe exact and like another reviewer said the breading looked like mush from the gravy and we found the taste was rather bland. It wasn't horrible but I don't see myself trying it again.

Made this for dinner, so good and easy. the only change I made was to slice an onion and lay it on the bottom of the pan then place the steak on top.and I used minced garlic instead of powder. will make this again.

i love this recipe. i have been making something similar for years except i use a cast iron skillet so that it can go in the oven in the same pan. great idea about adding some flour to thicken the gravy though i hadn't been doing that but it needs it

This was delicious!!!! I was looking for another recipe since the way I was making it the steak would sometimes be tough. I was skeptical about the cook time but it was soooo tender! I atleast doubled the gravy and added some water and milk as this was the way I would normally make my gravy. My husband said it was the best country style steak he had had in his life!!! Will be my new favorite recipe!!!

WOW! This recipe is great! The only suggestion I have is if you are making it with mashed potatoes it needs more gravy. Other than that, this recipe is fast becoming a regular in my household.

Great flavor! Next time I will double the gravy (at least) to allow more for topping mashed potatoes. I agree that mashed potatoes and green beans are the perfect side dishes for this comfort food!

I have only eaten cube steak like once in my life and have never made it before. This recipe had good reviews so I decided to try it. I thought it was pretty good. The cube steak was very tender with the slow oven roasting. And, the gravy had a nice flavor and consistency. I followed the recipe exactly except I left out the black pepper, because I don't care for it. And, for the broth I used one beef boullion cube for the 2 cups of water. If I made again, I would like to cube my own steak so I can buy a leaner cut of meat and probably cut the oil in half. Thanks, interesting recipe.
