Cut it up and it's a CUBE steak ??? Dear GOD NO !! It is a slice of top round that is TENDERIZED !!

Cube steak is a cut of beef, usually top round, tenderized by a fierce pounding of a a meat mallet or use of an electric tenderizer. It is also the most common cut of meat used for chicken fried steak

Answer 3

It is hard to cook it where its not tough, I would try even a crockpot with very little water and a few cut up potatoes and carrots abd celery. The only way I know to where it might be tender

Answer 4

I usually rinse mine in cold water, and coat with flour and add you fave seasonings wether it be salt and pepper or others, then fry in a skillet till done in the midle. Sometimes i pour gravy, pick your fave, over the top and heat til gravy is warm, in the skillet still. Its good with mashed taters or any vegie or side dish. Usually only takes 15-20 minutes all together.

Answer 5

You buy a round steak,and you cut it up then it is then a cube steak.
