Note: This is an older recipe. We have since changed to a plant-based diet and love it.
The first minute steak (or cube steak) I actually bought accidentally. I just wanted a steak, and this one had a good price :). But once I knew what they are and how to prepare a minute steak, we really started to love them. This minute steak recipe, baked in gravy, is all from scratch with only wholesome ingredients.
Ingredients
- 4 Minute Steaks (beef or game)
- 1/3 cup of flour (use Garbanzo Bean Flour for a gluten free version)
- 1/5 teaspoon of baking powder
- 6 tablespoons of butter
- 1 sliced onion
- 2 cups boiled water
- About a cup of bone broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
– Season the steaks with salt and pepper and leave them for about 15 minutes, or til you have prepared everything else.
– Mix 1/3 cup of flour with 1/5 teaspoon of baking powder and sprinkle the steaks with it just before browning them. I sprinkle one side before putting them in the pan and then place it in the pan with the floury side down and sprinkle the other side.
– Add about 6 tablespoons of butter into the frying pan and heat it on medium to high and fry the minute steaks for 2 minutes a side.
– Slice an onion and layer it in a baking pan, then put the steaks in layers with sliced onions in between.
– Make some gravy in the frying pan by adding the rest of the flour mixture and about 2 cups of boiled water.
– Season with salt and pepper and bring the gravy to a boil. If you have real bone broth, add it too. But I am talking about the real thing, not “Broth” full of chemicals. Leave that one in the cabinet, it tastes very delicious without it (oh my, I said that). I make my own broth from bones and then freeze it (that is the little cup in the picture). If you want to make your own, here is how.
– Pour the gravy over the layered minute steaks.
– Cover the dish and bake for 35 minutes at 400F.
We enjoyed the minute steaks with Spaetzle (German Egg noodles) that I buy at AG Food in Didsbury (for local people), along with a green salad and fried mushrooms.

This looks yummy! And I love Spaetzle and you can make them homemade.
Homemade Spaetzle are very yummy too, but a bit of a mess to make them, so I am glad I can just buy them :). And thank you, it was yummy!
Hi Anna! I’m stopping in from Let’s Get Real today. Your dish looked so good that I had to click over right away. This reminds me of a dish that my father used to make all the time. It was always one of my favorites. I’ll have to give it a try. I’m on the hunt for new recipes to add to my weekly meal plans.
Glad you like it Christina! Hope it tastes just as good as you remember it.
Reminds me of a recipe my mom used to make when I was younger. Thank you for the memories. Stopping by from the “lets get real” blog hop.
You are welcome, and thank you for hosting it!
Those look so good! And you don’t have to drown them in A1 sauce like my hubby does, blech!
This is good to know! It looks delicious!!
This is really similar to a recipe my grandma used to make. I haven’t had it in years. Only her’s didn’t call for healthy bone broth, which I think would make it even better. This sounds soooo good on a cold winter night. Thanks for the reminder about this great dish. I’ll try it with the bone broth soon.
Yummy dinner for sure! My husband loves cubed steak. I prepare it very similar to the way you do including with onions and mushrooms. Pinned it to my Good Eats board!
Those look really good! I’ll admit to having a weakness for pan gravy and sauce lately. I sop it up with the bread like my grandfather did 🙂 Thanks for linking up to Real Food Fridays!
