I cook the pork cube steak, fry it with onions, make gravy, and put the steaks in the gravy with onions. My husband loves it, and it is so easy to fix it. I like rice with it. They are so good and tasty.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Lisa's country-fried cube steak with onion gravy is comfort food with a capital C. It's a simple, old-fashioned recipe. Pork cube steaks are coated in flour and browned to create a golden brown crust. The homemade brown gravy is filled with onion gravy. The cube steaks are nestled into the gravy and continue to simmer until they're super tender. Serve with mashed potatoes and veggies for a dinner like Grandma used to make. If you can't find pork cube steaks, buy boneless pork chops and pound both sides with a meat mallet to tenderize them.
