6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¾ cup Flour
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Pepper
4 Beef cube steaks (5 oz. ea.)
¼ cup Plus 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 cup Chopped onion
1 cup Water
1 cup Milk

Directions

Combine first 3 ingredients; measure out and reserve ¼ cup flour mixture. Place remaining ½ cup flour mixture in a shallow dish.

Pound steaks to ¼" thickness; dredge in flour mixture, coating well on both sides and pressing flour into meat. Heat 3 Tbsp. oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge steaks again in any remaining flour mixture and fry until browned on both sides, adding 1 or 2 Tbsp. additional oil to skillet if needed. Remove steaks and set aside.

Add onion to skillet, and saute' until lightly browned. Add water, stirring to loosen clinging particles. Return steaks to skillet; cover and simmer 30 minutes, or until tender. Remove steaks, reserving drippings in skillet. Add reserved ¼ cup flour mixture to skillet, stirring until smooth. Cook until lightly browned, stirring constantly. Stir in milk with a wire whisk. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Return steaks to skillet, turning to coat with sauce; simmer until hot.
