Cube Steak and Gravy in Oven
Fork tender smothered cube steaks in an herbed onion and mushroom gravy cooked to perfection. Stovetop to oven in one skillet makes for easy clean-up!
Equipment
- 12" cast iron skillet or ovenproof skillet (if you don't have an ovenproof skillet transfer to a casserole baking dish)
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 pounds cube steak
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 large sweet onion (chopped)
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons garlic (minced)
- 8 ounces whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 cup sour cream
- (optional garnish) chopped fresh parsley or sliced green onion
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325° F. Preheat oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- While your cast-iron skillet is heating, season the cube steaks with salt and pepper.
- Once the oil just starts to smoke, sear the steaks for 1½ minutes on each side. Transfer steaks to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Add the mushrooms, onions, and garlic to the skillet and saute until the onions are translucent and tender.
- Reduce heat to medium and add the whipping cream, worcestershire sauce, and thyme.
- Bring to a simmer and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the cream is reduced by a third and starts to thicken, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add the sour cream and whisk until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together.
- Place the steaks back into the skillet and smother them with the gravy.
- Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes or until fork tender.
- Season gravy to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onion and serve.

- SUBSTITUTIONS: Substitute cubed pork steak if desired; To save time use cream of mushroom soup in place of whipping cream, but do not reduce. Reduce the amount of salt and pepper used.
- TOP TIPS: For the best caramelization of your steak, don't overcrowd the pan (work in batches if you need to) and make sure your pan is hot and the olive oil is just starting to smoke before searing.
- SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, mashed or riced cauliflower, or a healthy side of steamed or roasted vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions.
