Steps:

• Whisk flour, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a shallow bowl. Spread 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture onto a plate; press each cube steak into flour mixture to coat completely.
• Place coated steaks on a work surface and pound each several times with a meat tenderizer on each side to pound flour into steak. Pound each steak a second time to further incorporate flour mixture into the meat.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until skillet is about 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cook steaks in hot butter until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer steaks and any stray pieces of meat to a plate and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm. Let skillet cool briefly.
• Heat the same skillet over low heat. Pour enough milk into the skillet to cover the bottom of the pan. Whisk 1 tablespoon flour mixture into hot milk until gravy has a cream-like consistency, 10 to 15 minutes. Add more flour mixture as necessary to thicken gravy. Transfer any steak scraps back into the skillet and season gravy with salt and black pepper.

EASY CUBED STEAK AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat crockpot on high (I use a Rival 4 quart crockpot for this, it's gotta be 20 years old, but still does the job; all crockpots are different, the Rival is a much slower cooking one than my slightly smaller and newer Proctor-Silex model), and pour gravy into crockpot. If you have a newer model you defintely can do from it start to finish on the low temperature.
• Add milk to the gravy jar or cream of mushroom soup, and shake to get all of the gravy or soup rinsed out, and put in the crockpot.
• Add sliced onion on top of the gravy. Put crockpot lid on.
• Heat oil in a large frying pan until medium hot.
• In a plastic bag zipper bag mix flour and black pepper, put cubed steak in flour mixture and coat well, and brown on both sides.
• Put browned cube steak in crock pot, and cover with lid.
• Turn crockpot to low temperature, and cook 5 hours, or until done. Or it's so easy to just brown the cubed steaks the night before, put everything in the crockpot, stick in the frig., get up, and turn crockpot to low, and it can cook all day on low, without a problem, as it's mostly done already after you browned it.
• Okay, this is so easy I struggled to find the last/8th step, as I really didn't have one. I'd suggest a nice long bath or shower -- the meal is mostly done.
• Note: This is good with mashed potatoes or a baked potato and your favorite vegetable, just an easy meal. I don't think it would take an hour to prepare, but there's time there in the time stated to do it if you need it.
