Classic Pan-Seared Cube Steak
Ingredients
- 4 cube steaks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp thyme, chopped
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, chopped rosemary, thyme, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Place the cube steaks in a shallow dish and drizzle the marinade over them. Use a glove to mix and make sure each piece is coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Remove the cube steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature. Shake off the excess liquid and pat the cube steaks dry with paper towels.
- Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high to high heat on the stove and add a bit of olive oil.
- Once the pan is hot, carefully add the cube steaks. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Use a meat thermometer to check if they have reached your desired level of doneness.
- Once cooked, transfer the cube steaks to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
- Feel free to get creative and customize the marinades and seasonings according to your preferences.
- Adjust the cooking time to account for the thickness of the cube steaks and your desired level of doneness.
