My husband loves steak, and we always either pan fry it or make in the Air Fryer. But we recently decided to try making cube steak in the Instant Pot, and we loved it because you can cook the whole meal in the IP, and not just the steak. Which means that we cook the steak along with the potatoes, mushrooms, and delicious gravy. Saves so much time and effort! This cube steak meal is perfect for a mid-week dinner as it’s a dump and start recipe, requires very few ingredients, and there are no extra steps to make this truly delicious! Next, try making another classic cube steak meal: chicken fried steak!
Instant Pot Cube Steak Ingredients
Cubed steak – either buy cubed steak, or cube it at home using a meat tenderizer.Potatoes – I usually go for baby potatoes, but you can use larger potatoes and cut them in rings or wedges.Mushrooms – Chesnut or button mushrooms work.Onion – Sliced into half-moons, great for the gravy!Beef stock – I use store-bought.Cayenne pepper – for that lovely heat kick!Salt and pepper.
You will also need:
An Instant Pot obviously (this is the one that I have and love!)Kitchen tongs.Sharp knife. This is the knife that I use all the time, a sharp knife is so important and if you want to invest in a new knife then a high-quality chef knife is what I recommend. This one is also currently on sale and well worth the money.
How to cook cube steak in the Instant Pot?
Serve with extra onion gravy from the pot, and fresh chopped herbs (I use parsley).
How to make onion gravy?
Make a cornstarch slurry, by mixing 1-2 tbsp of corn starch with 1 tbsp of water.Then add it to the sauce that you would like to thicken. Keep mixing while it’s being heated, until it thickens.I usually start with 1 tbsp of cornstarch and then add more if needed.If you accidentally thicken the gravy too much, just loosen it up with a little bit of water.
Skip the veggies, and serve with one of these sides
