Are you searching for some new and exciting cube steak recipes?
Well, first let's look at why cube steak is so popular. Cube
steak or minute steak, as some people may call it, comes from the
butcher tenderizing round steak before packaging. This is done by
using a butcher's tenderizer. It does not take long to cook this
time of steak hence came the name minute steak.
There are many different cube steak recipes from countries all
over the world. Since the steak has been tenderized already you
do not have to worry about pounding, marinating, or anything else
to make your meat tender before preparing. It can be used to fry,
grill, in a crockpot or broiled. Just remember not to overcook
the meat. This can cause it to become tough and rubbery.
Here are a couple of cube steak recipes you must try for a new
treat. The Island Cube Steak recipe will give you an exciting new
way to prepare cube steak and will have your tastebuds asking for

1/4 cup vegetable oil, water chestnuts (usually one can drained,
but you can also use fresh), 1 green pepper sliced, 1 small onion
cut into slices, 1 pound of fresh sliced mushrooms, salt, and
around 8 ounces of beef gravy. You can purchase the gravy already
prepared or make your own. Cut the cube steak into small strips
and heat the vegetable oil over medium high heat. After the oil
is warm add the steak, onion, green pepper, mushrooms, and salt.
Cook totally until the meat is brown stirring consistently. When
the meat is browned, drain and add the water chestnuts and your
brown gravy. Cover the skillet and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours,
