Let's just be honest here, it is a lousy cut of meat!

@LindaSal   That is not true, not at all.  Why post something like this when the original poster is talking about this cut of meat for a meal.  It makes no sense whatsoever.

Does anyone here remember buying "bucket steaks"?   These were quite popular locally in the 70's and then phased into smaller packages of cubed steak.  

Bucket steaks were odd sized end pieces of beef that were run thru the tenderizer then packed into a small plastic bucket for sale, for about $5.  One bucket was 2-3 meals for my husband and I.

Having company this week.  With the price of beef nowadays, was thinking of cooking up a few cube steaks for a meal.  However we all like to eat our main meal at lunchtime, so cannot slow cook.

Any recipes provided will be greatly appreciated.  Also, when just frying them should I marinate them before cooking?

 @LindaSal   I never said whether I enjoyed it or not in the post you're commenting on.    But knock yourself out - go for it.

I slice it in strips and sauté it with onions, peppers, mushrooms, and garlic. I add some soy sauce and serve it over rice.

Gristle can usually be seen in a piece of cube steak which is round steak put through a machine to tenderize the meat.

Round steak used to be pounded with flour using a pointed mallet, or the drinking part of a sturdy drinking glass.  The steak was then cooked in the oven or on the stove top in a thin gravy that would slowly thicken and tenderise the meat.

I always used mushroom soup, fresh cut up mushrooms and a little garlic.  We liked roundsteak.

@ECBG That looks good!

Thank you.  That cube steak is very low calorie as well.

The full slices of onion start out browning in a sprayed frying pan using a turner to keep them together for more surface contact.  The top is sprayed at some point before they are turned.  after browning, the onion goes on paper towel, and the peppers are browned and put on towels.

The pan is resprayed, and the cube steak quickly browned on each side, then the Worcestershire sauce and a drop of soy sauce are added which the steak cooks in with the vegetables added back in to warm.

Rewarms in the microwave very well.
