I love a good cube steak. These instant pot cube steaks with gravy is an awesome way to cook them up. It is so easy to make and only requires 4 ingredients.
Cube steak or cubed steak is a cut of beef, usually top round or top sirloin. It is tenderized and flattened by pounding with a meat tenderizer, or by using an electric tenderizer. The name refers to the shape of the indentations left by the tenderization process. This thin cut is a great value for everyday meals. This cut of meat is moat commonly used for chicken fried or country fried steak.
The results of cooking this cut of beef with this method of cooking with the Instant Pot is fork tender meat. I highly recommend serving these steaks with with a side of mashed potatoes. It is the perfect way to enjoy that flavor gravy that comes with these steaks.
