The quantities follow this count.

4 (about 1.5 lb) cube steaks
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp black pepper
3 tbsp cooking oil
1 onion, sliced
2 cups beef broth

How to cook it

Season the cube steaks with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in 1/2 cup of the flour.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the steaks quickly, about 2 minutes per side, until browned but not cooked through, then remove.
Add the onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 4 minutes, then whisk in the remaining flour and cook 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth, scraping up the browned bits, and simmer until the gravy thickens, about 4 minutes.
Return the steaks to the skillet, cover, and simmer gently in the gravy until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
Season with black pepper and serve the steaks smothered in gravy, with rice or mashed potato on the side.
