Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. First, go to the grocery store.Cube steaks are located with the other meats. Generally, they are pretty inexpensive about 2-3 dollars per package . Each package comes with 2 in them.I recommend getting 2 packages if more than 2 people will be eating it.Get ones that are pink, and not so much white in them, this means they are more lean less fat , and also may be more tender.If you buy them and cook them immediately they are usually more tender than if you freeze them for a while, thaw them and then cook.

2. When you want to cook the cube steaks, here are the steps to take.Get out a frying pan, set the temperature to medium on the stove.Pour some oil in the pan, whichever type you prefer.While the pan is heating up, pour some flour in a bowl.Take the cube steaks out of the package, sprinkle them with some seasoning pepper, seasoning salt if you prefer, cover them with flour, and then set them in the pan.Do this with all of the steaks.

3. Let the cube steaks cook fully in the pan.Once they are fully cooked, or at least almost all the way cooked, cover them with water.Sometimes it is helpful to cut the cube steaks in half before coating and cooking them.They cook a little faster this way.Once you add the water, bring it to a boil. Turn heat to low, and let them simmer for as long as you like.Usually the longer they simmer the more tender they are.To serve, take out of the pan with a spatula, set on plate and there is your meat portion of your dinner.Cube steaks are wonderful when served with some rice pilaf, mixed vegetables,and milk.
