🥩 Amish Cube Steak
Amish cube steak is a tenderized cut of beef, often from the top round or top sirloin, that’s pounded or mechanically tenderized. It’s perfect for classic Southern dishes like chicken-fried steak or smothered steak.
🧾 Ingredients (For Smothered Amish Cube Steak, Serves 4)
- 4 Amish cube steaks

- Sprinkle 2–3 tbsp flour over onions, stir, and cook 1–2 minutes.
- Slowly add beef broth (and milk if using), whisking to remove lumps.
