Cube steak is a cut of meat that has been tenderized by being pounded with a textured mallet. This leaves small indentations on the meat, which helps break down the muscle fibers and makes it less tough and more tender.

This is a great way to get a delicious meal from an inexpensive and less tender cut of beef. It’s a big money saver, especially for families.

Many of these can be made in the crock pot, especially a slow cooker with a browning feature.
