Fried Pork Cube Steak Sandwich

I love cube steak and it doesn't matter whether it's beef or pork.  I normally serve cube steak with a gravy and mashed potatoes.  

But for this meal, I decided to go the sandwich route.  I seasoned the flour liberally with Hardin's Seasoning for the coating and quickly fried it on the stovetop.  The result was a fun sandwich which was a nice change from a burger on a bun.

1 lb. pork cube steak

1/2 cup self-rising flour

1 T. Hardin's Seasoning

1/4 cup vegetable oil

Buns

butter for the buns

Condiments:  leafy lettuce, red onion, tomatoes, pickles

Place self-rising flour in a shallow plate and mix in Hardin's seasoning with a fork.  Cut cube steak into individual pieces that will fit onto a burger bun.  

Coat each piece of cube steak completely with the seasoned flour and set aside on a clean plate.

Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat.  Add several pieces of the steak to the hot oil and lower to medium-high heat.  Cook for 3 - 4 minutes and flip; cook an additional 3 - 4 minutes.  Lower heat if meat begins to brown too quickly.  Internal temperature needs to be at 145 degrees F. 

 

Remove to a paper towel lined plate while you repeat with remaining pieces of steak.

When all the meat is cooked, drain grease from skillet and butter the buns.  Place skillet over low heat and place buns buttered side down into the skillet to toast.

Assemble your sandwiches with your favorite condiments.  We used mayo, a layer of lettuce, a slice of red onion, the pork, tomatoes, and pickles.  You do you and use your favorites.  This combination worked for us.
