Cube steak is cut from the top or bottom round (hip) of the cow carcass. The meat is initially too tough to eat and has to be tenderized before being cooked. It is often tenderized by either using an electric tenderizer or by being pounded by a wooden mallet. There are also special machines meant specifically to tenderize cube steaks. The meat can also be pierced by sharp pointed rods. After it is tenderized, it becomes similar in consistency to a hamburger.
The cube steak offers a flavorful and inexpensive treat. Here are two ways of cooking cube steaks:
Cube Steaks
Ingredients
- 6 – 8 cube steaks
- garlic, salt and pepper
- 1/2 can water
- 2 medium-sized onions
- 1 can celery soup or cream of mushroom
- 2 tbsp. oil or shortening
- 1/2 cup of catsup
Instructions for cooking
- Put a dash of garlic, salt, and pepper on cube steaks.
- Fry cube steaks in oil or shortening, two at a time.
- After frying, put all steaks back into the pan and cover them with sliced onions. Mix the water with catsup and soup and pour this over the meat and the onions.
- Mix and simmer while partially covered for 40 minutes.
- You can use beef broth in place of cream soup for a different flavor.
Stuffed Cube Steak
Ingredients
- 4 cube steaks
- garlic powder
- salt and pepper
- 2 large onions, sliced thickly
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- bread dressing (or any dressing of your choice)
Instructions for cooking:
- Fry the cube steaks on one side.
- Put a portion of dressing on the uncooked side of the cube steak.
- Fold the cube steak over crosswise, then secure it with a toothpick.
- Place the sliced onions into a pot, followed by the cube steaks. Pour mushroom soup directly from the can over the steak and onions.
- Cover the pot and simmer at low heat for 1 1/2 hours. Shake it from side to side once in a while to keep contents from sticking.
- To make a one-pot dinner, add a vegetable or raw, quartered potatoes during the last 45 minutes.
- Serve while hot.

Venison Cube Steaks? Sounds good. Anyway, have you tried Venison? Venison is a type of meat that is oft overlooked in favor of the normal faire of beef, pork, or chicken. Venison, or game meat, is high protein, but very low in fat. Venison technically means any meat gained from hunting, but many mean deer meat. It’s worth a cash loan or two, as it is delicious. A few cash loans can also net a decent hunting set up. Venison is great for braising – or any method of preparation, although getting a whole side of it up icy stairs, or carrying anything up icy stairs, is a real chore. Getting some venison through a butcher or hunting your own, is worth talking with money lender to get started.
