Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp butter, divided
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 4 cube steaks
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 3 tbsp flour, gluten free or regular
  • 2 cups broth, chicken or beef
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, gluten free if needed

Instructions 

  • First, add 2 tablespoons butter and sliced onions to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, frequently stirring to prevent burning.
  • Once softened, remove onions from pan and plate on plate. Leave leftover butter in pan.
  • While onions are cooking, tenderize meat. Place saran wrap over steaks. Pound to ½ inch thin with mallet. Then season steak on both sides with pepper, salt, paprika and garlic powder.
  • Place seasoned steaks into the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes on each side over medium heat. Then, remove steaks to a plate.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet over medium heat. Add in flour and whisk to combine.
  • To the skillet, add broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly. After about 2 minutes, gravy will have thickened up.
  • Turn heat off. Place steaks and onions into the gravy in the pan. Spoon gravy over the tops of the steaks.
  • Finally, serve steaks with onions and gravy on top!

Notes

  • If desired, continue cooking onions until they are caramelized.
  • Even though steaks are already tenderized, pound it thin.  This prevents steaks from becoming too chewy or tough.
  • Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free flour can be used.
  • Both chicken broth and beef broth can be used.  For these photos, I used chicken broth.
  • Be sure to use gluten free Worcestershire sauce if gluten free.  Regular Worcestershire sauce contains barely and is not gluten free.
  • Continue whisking gravy while cooking.  Otherwise, it will burn.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
