Easy Smothered Philly Cheese Cubed Steak Recipe
Cubed steak is usually made using sirloin or top round that the butcher has processed using a meat tenderizer which gives it a fierce pounding, The process leaves tiny indentations in the steak pieces shaped like "cubes" hence the name. I chose it to make this smothered Philly cheese cubed steak for the tender texture and quick cooking time.
