Ingredients
- 4 Cube Steaks about 1¼ pound
- 1 teaspoon Salt (we use Kosher 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 with white rice, red or black beans and tostones, if desired.
