Ingredients

1 ½ lbs. cubed steak
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ cup red wine
4 cups beef broth

Instructions

Season 1 ½ lbs. cubed steak with 1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet or a saute pan. Make sure sides are deep since the entire mixture will be cooking in here.
Sear the cube steak over medium-high heat in the pan, browning on both sides.
Pull the steak from the pan, patting with a paper towel to soak up any extra oil.
Pour ½ cup red wine into the pan and deglaze. Scrape any browned bits from the pan using a wooden spoon. Continue cooking until the wine has almost completely evaporated.
Pour 4 cups beef broth into the pan, and stir using the wooden spoon. Carefully place the cubed steak back into the pan, too.
Bring the ingredients to a boil, then lower the heat to LOW and cover, letting the mixture simmer. You may also do this in the oven in an oven-safe container.
Let the mixture cook down until the pan gravy is thick and the steak falls apart easily when touched with a fork.
Serve over mashed potatoes (or rice) with plenty of the gravy and enjoy!

Notes

If you don't love beef stock, you can use the following combination to make the broth: 1 ½ cups chicken broth, ½ cup beef broth and 2 cups water. This will not be as beefy as the recipe is now written, but it certainly works!
