What is Cube Steak?
Cube steak is a cut of beef, usually top round or top sirloin, tenderized by fierce pounding with a meat tenderizer, or use of an electric tenderizer. The name refers to the shape of the indentations left by that process called "cubing."
With all that tenderizing you would think cube steak would be a very tender cut of meat. Actually, not so much, at least not until you cook it right. Once you learn how to best prepare it, cube steak can easily be as tender as other more premium cuts and used in so many ways.
