Dawn gave me a cookbook for Christmas so I was anxious to try a new recipe. Boy did I try the right one! Nothing like making a yummy dinner that James will eat seconds and thirds of. Easy too! So I thought I would share.
Ingredients1 large onion (I used a sweet/yellow onion)
2 or 3 lbs of cube steak (I used 1 1/2)
1 stick of butter
Lemon pepper
Seasoned salt
Black pepper
Tabasco sauce
Worcestershire sauce
4 to 6 french rolls
Before I get started, first I must give a sales pitch. Do you own a cast iron skillet? If not, BUY ONE!!! It's a must. I enjoy my nonstick pans but I love my cast iron skillets - I have four!
1. Slice the onion (I really need pictures for this)
2. Melt 1/4 stick butter in a skillet over medium heat .
3. Add the onion and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occassionally, unit they are soft and light brown, about 10 minutes.
4. Remove the onion from the pan and set aside.
5. Cut the cube steak, against the grain, into 1-inch strips (I did this step and the next while my onions were cooking).
6. Season the meat with seasoned salt, lemon pepper and black pepper.
7. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet you cooked the onion. Turn the heat to high. Let the butter begin to turn brown, about 2 minutes.
8. Add enough meat to the skillet to form a single layer. Let it sit for about a minute then using a spatula, flip the meat over. Cook for another minute then remove to a plate. Repeat until all the meat is cooked.
9. Return all the meat to the skillet and add the onion. Pour in Worcestershire sauce, several dashes of tabasco and an additional 2 tablespoons of butter. Simmer the mixture over low heat for about 5 mintues to throughly warm.
10. Cut the rolls in half, spread with butter and brown in a seperate skillet.
11. Serve! Make sure you put 3 or 4 spoonfulls of the pan juices over the meat.
The man in your life will love you forever!
