Ingredients

  • 2 pounds cubed steak (about 4 pieces)
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 ½ tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 yellow onion ½ inch rings
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 oz onion soup mix one packet
  • cup water

Instructions

  • Season steaks with salt and pepper. Mix flour and garlic powder in a large shallow plate and dredge steaks. Reserve remaining dredge mixture.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Fry steaks in batches until deeply golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add onion to pan. Cook, scraping down the bottom of pan until onions are softened and turn golden, about 10 minutes.
  • Melt butter into onions, then sprinkle in onion soup mix and 1 tablespoon of reserved dredge mixture. Cook, stirring constantly until bubbling and beginning to turn a golden color, another 10 minutes.
  • Gradually add water (¼ cup at a time.) Let simmer lightly until gravy is thickened. Transfer steaks to pan with gravy and turn to coat.
  • Serve steaks smothered with gravy.
