Ingredients

4 (4 ounce) cube steaks
salt and pepper to taste
0.25 cup all-purpose flour
0.33 cup vegetable oil
2 cups water, or as needed
1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules

Instructions

Prepare all the necessary ingredients.
Season the cube steaks generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish; press the steaks into the flour, ensuring they are evenly coated, and then shake off any excess flour.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the steaks and cook until they are nicely browned on both sides, approximately 3 minutes per side.
Pour enough water into the skillet so that it almost covers the steaks, ensuring they will cook evenly.
Stir in beef bouillon and salt to enhance the flavor; bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer until the steaks are exceptionally tender, about 2 hours.
