Ingredients

For the Steak:

• 4 cubed steaks (about 6 oz each)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup beef broth

• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

For the Gravy (Optional but Recommended):

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup beef broth
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Season the Steaks: In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Dredge each cubed steak in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
3. Sear the Steaks: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the steaks and set aside.
4. Prepare the Gravy: In the same skillet, add beef broth, milk, and cream of mushroom soup. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.
5. Bake the Steaks: Place the seared steaks in a baking dish and pour the gravy mixture over them. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
6. Make the Optional Gravy: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually add beef broth, whisking constantly until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Serve: Remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve with the optional gravy on top.
