Pork Cube Steak in The Oven
Fork tender smothered pork 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 dish)
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 pounds pork cube steaks
- 3 tablespoons pot roast seasoning
- 1 large yellow onion (chopped)
- 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 8 ounces whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper
- (optional garnish) chopped fresh parsley or sliced green onion
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325° F. Season the pork cube steaks with pot roast seasoning.
- Preheat oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is just starting to smoke, sear the steaks for 1½ minutes on each side. Reduce heat if needed. Transfer steaks to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Add the mushrooms and onions to the skillet and saute until the onions are translucent and tender, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute more.
- Reduce heat to medium and add the whipping cream, worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, 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 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes. Season gravy to taste.
