Winter is on the way, school has started and the lazy days of summer are a thing of the past. It's time to get serious about quick and easy meals that will fill you up and keep the whole family between school and practice. Enter cube steak, that staple of 60's and 70's kitchens that you thought was only a memory. This versatile cut of beef is top round or top sirloin pounded with a meat mallet or electric tenderizer.

Called "Minute Steak" in some parts of the country, these two cuts of meat are not always the same. Cube steak is always tenderized, and minute steak can be prepared with or without the tenderization process. The most common use for cube steak is when making "Chicken Fried Steak" but there are other delicious ways to prepare it.
