Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Coating
- 2 pounds cube steak
- ½ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Cooking and Sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups beef broth
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup chopped white onion
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms
Instructions
- Prepare the coating: In a small bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Dredge both sides of the cube steaks evenly with the flour mixture to ensure a flavorful crust.
- Sauté the steaks: Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and heat the olive oil. Once hot, add the coated cube steaks and brown them on both sides. This step locks in the flavor and adds a rich texture to the meat.
- Prepare the sauce: In a separate bowl, combine beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, chopped onion, and baby bella mushrooms. Stir well to blend the ingredients smoothly.
- Pressure cook: Pour the sauce mixture over the browned cube steaks in the Instant Pot. Close and seal the lid securely. Set the Instant Pot to cook at high pressure for 20 minutes to tenderize the meat and meld flavors.
- Release pressure and serve: Allow the Instant Pot to depressurize naturally after cooking. Once safe to open, serve the cube steak and mushroom gravy hot over rice or mashed potatoes for a hearty meal.
Notes
- The calorie estimate is based on two pounds of cube steak and a serving size of one-third pound with gravy, but nutritional values may vary by ingredient brand.
- For creamier gravy, you can stir in a splash of heavy cream or sour cream after cooking.
- Using fresh mushrooms gives a richer flavor, but canned mushrooms can be substituted if needed.
- Make sure to brown the steaks well for optimal texture and flavor before pressure cooking.
