The most affordable cut of steak is back!

Boomers, do you remember cube steaks? Apparently the cube steak has made a resurgence in our current economic downturn, and sales are up substantially, compared to overall beef sales, according to an article in the New York Times.

We've been offering the "cube steak" without even knowing it. A cube steak is nothing more than mechanically tenderized cuts of steak like Round Steak or Sirloin tip steak.

The word "cube" describes the way the steak is hashed by the tenderizer

The meat doesn't come from cube shaped cattle, nor is the steak in the shape of a cube. The mechanical tenderizer creates slashes in the steak that makes it contain lots of tiny little cubes of meat within the steak.

Because Round Steak is one of the tougher cuts of steak, mechanically tenderizing it gives consumers the opportunity to enjoy great steak flavor, that's easy to cut and chew, at an affordable price.

The versatile Cube Steak

Memories of cube steak include comfort and ease, one of America's first convenience foods, or conversely, the loathing and repulsion of some kind of tomato goo Swiss steak product.

You don' have to fix "Swiss Steak", when there are an infinite number of ways you can fix Cube Steak. (Our apologies to those who liked Swiss steak).

The following include just a few of the easy ways to fix Cube Steak:

Chicken fried steak
However, the various ways in which you can fix a cube steak are countless. The old comfort food that first comes to mind is chicken fried steak. I know, I know…, but chicken fried steak is not an unhealthy meal when you use grass fed beef, and pan fry in olive oil. In fact there's not a thing wrong with it. Especially if you use something like spelt, rice, or oat flour in your breading. Have it with organic mashed potatoes and grass fed butter, with your favorite vegetables or salad and you have a great meal, the whole family will love, and perhaps a sense of comfort reminiscent of a time that was simpler.

Pan fried steak
One of the easiest ways to fix Cube Steak is to simply pan fry it in olive oil. It's delicious and cooks up in no time. Have a pan fried Cube Steak with a salad for a light lunch or dinner.

Cracklin' steak salad
You can take the pan frying a step further by cutting the Cube Steak into strips and frying the strips in olive oil until they're well done and almost crunchy, then mixing them into a large salad. This is one of Mike's and my favorite light dinners. It's quicker and easier than it sounds. It takes about 5 minutes to cut up the steak, and about 10 minutes to fry the strips. Making the salad is the laborious part, but you can buy pre-made salad (ideally organic), which makes this meal a snap.

For all your marinated steak recipes

Just because it's mechanically tenderized doesn't mean you can't use Cube Steak with your favorite marinade recipes. The marinade will make the meat eve more tender and keep it from drying out.

Great for crock pot recipes

Use Cube Steak for all of your favorite steak recipes that are cooked in the crock pot or slow cooked in the oven too. And... yes, it's the perfect cut for that mysterious, tomato-y "Swiss Steak" concoction that so many of us ate as children. (In all my travels I never saw anything like it in Switzerland)!
