On busy days a pan filled with mouthwatering Smothered Philly Cheese Cubed Steak will hit the proverbial spot. They’re succulent, tender and packed with flavor with the bonus of taking mere minutes to prepare. 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-style cubed steak for the tender texture and quick cooking time. Serve these smothered steaks stacked on a toasted garlic-butter hoagie roll and you’ve prepared a homemade meal that’s better than take-out.
Easy Meals For Busy Days
My life is crazy busy just like yours. I have 2 sons to and they both have voracious appetites that I struggle to satisfy some days. I love dishes you can personalize, and that’s one more reason to love this easy dish as they can each be changed to suit everyone’s taste. You can top these with any variety of peppers you enjoy or mushrooms, if preferred. When you’re feeling sassy try making them with a different kind of cheese or pepper jack for a kick. My sons eat these smothered steaks on hoagie rolls but, most often I eat them without the bread and it’s a fantastic meal either way. It’s meal-time in no-time, it doesn’t get any better than that.
