Notes
Notes
Searing the cube steaks is optional. I’ve made this recipe with and without searing the meat and don’t notice enough of a difference to justify the extra step or dirtying another pan.
The estimated seasonings can be adjusted to taste.
Do not add salt until you have tasted the finished dish.
You can use two cans of cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, or cream of celery soup—or a combination of the three.
Add 8 ounces of chopped fresh mushrooms with the onion for even more mushroom flavor.
Store leftovers with the gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, biscuits, dinner rolls, or cornbread.
