Cube Steaks

Store raw cube steak in its original packaging or tightly wrapped in plastic wrap/foil. Once cooked, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

For country-fried steak, dredge in seasoned flour and pan-fry until golden brown, then serve with gravy.

Cube steaks are excellent for quick braising; simmer in a flavorful liquid until tender.

Marinades can add extra flavor and tenderness, though they are already tenderized.

Mashed potatoes

Gravy (especially white or brown)

Green beans

Corn on the cob

Rice

Overcooking: Because they are thin, cube steaks can dry out quickly. Cook just until done.

Ignoring seasoning: Season the steak generously before cooking, especially if dredging in flour.
