Cube Steak

Cube Steak

EverydayRaw

Cube steak is a pre-tenderized beef cut, typically from the round or chuck, mechanically processed with blades or rollers to create its signature dimpled texture. This method breaks down tough muscle fibers, making it suitable for quick-cooking methods like pan-frying or braising while retaining its high protein and iron content. Though leaner than many steaks, its preparation often involves added fats or gravies to enhance flavor in dishes like chicken-fried steak or stews.
