Instructions

  1. Take the onion slices and sauté them in a pan of margarine or butter for about 5 minutes, or until they’re browned. Set the onions aside.
  2. Place the beef steaks on a flat surface and sprinkle with the seasonings. You can reduce or increase the quantity of seasoning you add based on your preference. Use a packet of sazon spice on one side of each beef steak and the second packet on the other side.
  3. Next, place the beef cube steaks in flour and press down gently so they can absorb the flour better. Coat the beef steaks completely with the flour.
  4. Pour ½ a cup of cooking oil into a pan and let it get hot. If you’re unsure about when the pan is really hot, sprinkle some flour on the oil and if the flour sizzles to nothing, your pan is hot enough to take the beef steaks.
  5. Put your beef steaks into the pan, shaking off the excess flour, and cook on both sides for 8 minutes; 4 minutes on each side. Remember, you’re not fully cooking the beef steaks on the stovetop, this process is just to get the sides brown enough. Cook at medium heat.
  6. Once the beef steaks are a little shrunk and browned on both sides, take them out and set them aside.
  7. Add a tablespoon of flour into the pan of leftover cooking oil and flour, and mix well with a wooden spoon. Add another tablespoon of flour to the mix and stir together.
  8. Take out a bowl and combine both cans of beef broth and cream of mushroom soup. Turn on the heat on your flour mixture. Pour the beef broth and cream of mushroom mix into the pan. Stir again with a wooden spoon.
  9. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  10. Add the sautéd onions to the pan and 1 teaspoon of Kitchen Banquet or any other darkening seasoning you have. Stir again for about a minute and then add in your beef steaks. Cover up the visible parts of the meat with the pan mixture.
  11. Put the pan into the oven and cook for 45 minutes at 350° Fahrenheit. You can cover the pan with a lid or a foil sheet.
  12. After 45 minutes, take out the pan with an oven mitt and leave it to rest on the counter for 2 minutes, just to allow it to absorb back its juices in the gravy. The gravy should be thick because of the flour in it.
  13. You can serve it with the gravy on any side dish of your choice.
