The last few evenings at our house have been physically and mentally exhausting. The thought of fixing dinner was the last thing I wanted to deal with, but everyone’s gotta eat. Today, I’m ahead of the game . I’m pulling out the crockpot. I decided I was gonna make my melt in your mouth cube steak. It’s always a hit with the family. Now, what to have with it? It’s gotta be easy. I decided to serve the cube steak and gravy over steamed in the bag cauliflower rice paired with a side of steamed in the bag corn and some sliced oranges. How easy is that! Now to get started. RECIPE 1 cube steak per person. 1 used 6 cube steaks 1 1/2 lbs cut into strips seasoned the steaks with 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp seasoned salt salt and pepper flour coating for cube steak strips 1 cup flour 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp seasoned salt 1 tsp pepper 1/4 cup canola oil 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon left over seasoned flour from coating meat 4 cups water 2 beef bouillon 2 bags steam in the bag cauliflower rice follow instructions on bag Cute cube steaks in strips.

Heat oil in fry pan on meadium high heat. Add meat to oil with only enough to cover bottom of pan. Brown one side of meat the flip and brown other side. Remove from pan and place into crockpot. Continue with this until all meat is browned, There will be meat and flour drippings floating around or stuck to the pan. Leave them. They will help season and thicken the gravy.

Enjoy! Now, I know not everyone likes cauliflower rice. If that’s you, don’t let it stop you from trying this recipe. It’s also good on white rice, brown rice, mashed potatoes, egg noodles, and other pastas as well. I’ve thrown in potatoes and carrots in the crockpot with the cube steaks and gravy. Cooking time was the same. Made for a great stew. Try it with peppers and onions over rice. Do you like mushrooms? Try adding mushrooms and onions and serving over noodles. Make extra and serve over toast topped with a fried or poached egg. This recipe is so versatile. Give it a try.
