Recipe: Crispy Beef & Veggies
Let’s think outside of the CUBE - Cubed Steak that is!
We all know cubed steak and country fried steak go hand in hand, but let’s explore a new way to use it in a FAST and EASY Simple Supper.
Simple Ingredients:
Cubed Steak
Corn Starch
Salt and Pepper
Veggies (peppers, onion, mushrooms, zucchini - use what you have!) My favorite combo is zucchini and mushrooms.
Key Tip:
If you substitute the cubed steak for tenderized round steak, make sure you slice against the grain - your eating experience will thank me.

Crispy Beef and Veggies
Ingredients
- 4 beef cubed steaks (about 1 lb)
- 1 T. olive oil
- 1/4 cup corn starch
- Salt & Pepper
- 1-2 peppers, chopped
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Place 1/4 cup corn starch in bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Slice cube steaks in to strips.
- Coat steak slices in corn starch & let it absorb for a few minutes.
- Heat 1 T. oil in non-stick skillet. Working in batches, brown and crisp up steak slices.
- Place cooked steak in a bowl and keep warm.
- While the steak is cooking, prep & slice vegetables.
- Once steak is all cooked, add another 1 T. oil to skillet and sauce vegetables.
- While vegetables are cooking, mix together the sauce ingredients.
- Add the sauce to the vegetables & stir.
- Add the cooked steak back to the skillet, stir, and let simmer in vegetables & sauce.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides & watch it disappear!
Notes:
1 zucchini and mushrooms work well as vegetables too! If you run low on corn starch use an extra 1/4 cup - its purely a suggestion! The corn starch on the meat helps serve as an easy way to thicken the sauce up in mere minutes!
