Ingredients
- 2-4 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 6 Cubed Steaks (4 ounces each)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Medium Onion, diced or sliced
- 12 ounces Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 2 Cups Beef broth
Instructions
For Stove Top
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the cubed steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Sear both sides of the cubed steak in the hot oil, about 3 minutes on each side. I did 3 steaks at a time. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce the skillet to medium heat and add in the onion. Cook until translucent, about 5-8 minutes. Add in the mushroom soup and the beef broth. Whisk to combine. Add the steaks back to the skillet and submerge in the gravy. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 2.5 hours, or until the cubed steaks are tender.

To Serve

Notes
- Thickening the gravy (if needed):
- Xanthan gum: Add ½ teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of oil. Stir into the gravy and bring to a boil to thicken.
- Arrowroot starch or cornstarch: Mix with 1 tablespoon to water and stir into the gravy. Bring to a boil to thicken.
- For the cream of mushroom, I used a store bought one that was gluten free. It added 5 carbs per serving to the recipe. You can make your own following this recipe!
- Store the leftover cube steak and gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
