Ingredients

  • 4 Cube Steaks about 1¼ pound
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon Cumin Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoon Oil use an oil with a high smoke point (we used canola oil)
  • 1 Medium Yellow Onion sliced thin

Instructions

  • Season the steak with salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, cumin and black pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large, skillet over medium-high heat.  When the oil is hot add the cube steak to the skillet. Cook the steaks about 3-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness. Make sure the steak is browned on the outside, and then continue cooking to the desired doneness.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat, place the steaks on a plate or pan. Keep the steaks warm by covering loosely with aluminum foil, or place them in the microwave or oven to keep away from drafts.
  • Do not wash the skillet.
  • Immediately add the sliced onions, place the skillet back over low to medium-low heat. There should be enough residual heat in the skillet to cook the onions. Stir  frequently and cook until they start to soften.
  • Serve the Cuban Cube Steak with white rice, red or black beans and tostones, if desired.
