Ingredients:

4
item
cube steaks or round steaks (about 1/2 inch thick)
120
ml
all-purpose flour
1
tsp
salt
0.5
tsp
black pepper
0.5
tsp
garlic powder
0.5
tsp
onion powder
2
tbsp
vegetable oil or butter
240
ml
beef broth
1
tbsp
worcestershire sauce
240
ml
sliced onions and/or mushrooms for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the Meat: Tenderize the steaks using a meat mallet or the flat side of a heavy knife. Season both sides of the steaks with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Dredge in Flour: Spread the flour on a plate and dredge each steak in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Cook the Steaks: Heat the vegetable oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, add a little more oil or butter if needed. Sauté onions and mushrooms if using until softened. Stir in the remaining flour from the dredging and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens and comes to a simmer.
Combine and Serve: Return the steaks to the skillet, spooning the gravy over them. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve the Poor Man’s Steak with the gravy and garnish with onions and mushrooms if desired.
