Instructions

Combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
Pat cube steaks dry and dredge in the seasoned flour mixture. Shake off excess.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steaks for 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
Add onion to the skillet (if using) and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Stir and bring to a simmer.
If thickening, mix cornstarch and water into a slurry and add to the gravy. Stir until thickened.
Return steaks to the skillet, spoon gravy over them, cover, and simmer on low for 10-15 minutes.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.

Notes

Add mushrooms to the gravy for extra flavor.

Use cayenne or chili flakes for a spicy version.

Can be made in a slow cooker after searing for very tender results.

Double dredge with egg for a crispier crust.

Reheat gently and thin gravy with broth if needed.
