Easy Pan-Fried Cube Steak Recipe with Delicious Pan Sauce

Ingredients

• 24 ounces cube steak, cut into 4 portions
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 0.33 cup Worcestershire sauce, divided
• 0.5 cup water

Instructions

1. Season each cube steak lightly with salt and pepper on both sides. (Refer to Cook's Note for variations).
2. Melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is foamy, add the cube steaks and sprinkle approximately 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce over each. Cook until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Flip the steaks and sprinkle each with another 1 to 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce. Continue cooking until the steaks are firm, reddish-pink, and juicy in the center, around 3 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer should register 135 degrees F (57 degrees C) when inserted into the center. Transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil.
4. To create the pan sauce, pour about 1/2 cup of water into the skillet and scrape up all the browned bits from the pan's bottom. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for approximately 2 minutes.
5. Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the remaining butter until it's fully melted.
6. Distribute the pan sauce evenly over each cube steak and serve immediately.
