Cube steak, sometimes labeled asminute steak, is an inexpensive, flavorful cut of beef that’s pre-tenderized. Home cooks will pound a beef cube steak thin with a meat mallet or meat tenderizer but your local butcher or meat counter at the grocery store will probably use a meat tenderizing machine.
Beef cube steaks are typically a tough cut of meat because the meat comes from either the top round or bottom round of the steer. The rump of the animal is used more and therefore a tougher muscle to cook.

📝 Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:
How do you cook cube steak so it's not tough?
Here are 5 tips on how to keep cubed steak from becoming tough and leathery in texture.
Tenderize the meat: Use a meat mallet or a fork to tenderize the cube steak before cooking. Manual tenderizing will help break down the tough fibers and make it more tender.
Marinate the meat: Marinating the cube steak in a mixture of oil, vinegar, and spices for a few hours before cooking can help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
Low and slow: Cube steak is best cooked slowly over low heat. This will help to break down the tough fibers and make them more tender.
Don't overcook: Cube steak should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F. Overcooking can make it tough and dry.
Slice against the grain: When serving, be sure to slice the cube steak against the grain.
