But, I can’t stop there, this dish can be made in just 10 minutes with the help if your magic pot, I mean instant pot! That is right, once again the instant pot swoops in to make dinner a breeze, Bon Appetite!
I grew up eating cubed steak covered in gravy, like chicken fried steak, and just pan fried. The one thing I remember is you never knew how tender the meat would be.
Depending on how you cook cubed steak, or how tenderized it is will allows change your end result. But when you toss it in the instant pot, it heats it with steam which helps break down the meat and really tenderizes it like crazy. So that you can easily just cut your meat with a fork.
When you allow the Instant Pot Cubed Steak and Gravy to natural release for five minutes is where the magic happens.
This helps tremendously in tenderizing your meat, that is a trick I learned early on. I use it for most of my dishes that might have a bit of tougher meat.
Once you make Instant Pot Cubed Steak and Gravy, I promise you won’t go back to stovetop or oven methods. You can’t get the same tenderness and juicy flavors without the instant pot. Plus this dinner is super affordable, so if you are a tight budget, this is one dinner I recommend. I think every family has had hard times and you have to get creative with meals so that you can afford it. This is pretty affordable, especially if you buy your cube steak on sale.
