Easy Baked Cubed Beef Steaks
In this post I’m sharing a recipe for Easy Baked Cubed Beef Steaks.
One of the questions I get a lot is “how do you cook cube steak“? In the South, I think most would automatically think of country fried or chicken fried steak (same thing, different names).
There is another popular method cooking with these tenderized beef steaks and that is what is often referred to as country style steak, at least in my neck of the woods.
The recipe that I’m sharing here is sort of a short cut version of the country style steak that busy parents will love for putting an easy home cooked meal on the table.
The country fried steak is one of our most favorite meals and how I prepare it most often.
I suppose that it depends on what region of the country that you live in as to what might be most popular for cube steak.
This “back to the basics” recipe is delicious and super easy to prepare!

Thank you for this healthier version of cube steak! The old fried version gives my stomach fits these days!
I’m so glad that you enjoyed this recipe.
I mixed my cut up cube steak in the gravy water mix and it turn my cream of mushroom soup pink before i put it in the oven is that okay? Or should I scrap this meal
Hi Cody,
It will be fine and cook through.
This recipe was easy. That’s the best part. It took over an hour and 30 min. to cook in the oven to where it was safe to eat.
It looked as bland as it tasted. It needs something more for flavor. It most likely should be cooked in the crock pot if you’re using the cream of mushroom soup. But, I would forgo this recipe and find something else.
Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I’m a lazy cook, so this was perfect. My family was impressed and really liked the flavor. I’ll be making this again.
I am so happy you enjoyed using this recipe to create a delicious home cooked meal!
I had the best fried cube steak recipe that called for a little celery salt in the breading…it was do darn good but I lost the recipe in a move! I wonder what Cream of Celery would taste like instead of mushroom??
Hi Donna! Cream of celery is a great option if you’d prefer instead of the mushroom. Enjoy!
