Ingredients
- 1 pound cube steaks
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste or 1 chopped fresh tomato
- 1 cup dry wine (substitute water)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herb (oregano, savory, thyme, etc ) or 1 teaspoon dried
Preparation
Step 1
Caramelize sliced onion in butter and oil. Set aside.
Mix salt, pepper, flour, and paprika if using.Pat or rub this mixture into the surface of the meat.
Heat oil in a skillet large enough to hold meat in a single layer and brown steak 3 to 5 minutes per side.
Add the onions, tucking them under and around the meat. Cook another 5 minutes.
Mix the tomato paste, or chopped fresh tomato, with a little of the wine, add the rest of the wine and the herbs and pour over the meat and onions.
Cover pan (use foil if skillet doesn't have a lid), adjust heat to maintain a simmer, and cook until meat is tender. Allow an hour or more - the actual time will depend on the cut and thickness of the meat.
Taste sauce for seasoning; correct if necessary. Serve hot, with sauce spooned over meat.
