Ingredients:
- 6 cube steaks
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- 1 can cream of celery soup
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 2 medium onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for browning)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Cube Steaks: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly season the cube steaks with salt and pepper, then brown them in the skillet for 2–3 minutes on each side. You don’t need to cook them through—just give them a nice sear.
- Prepare the Casserole: In a bowl, combine the cream of celery soup, cream of chicken soup, and the onion soup mix. Stir well until fully mixed.
- Assemble the Casserole: In a large casserole dish, layer the browned cube steaks. Scatter the sliced onions over the top of the steaks. Pour the soup mixture over the steaks and onions, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
- Bake: Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1½ to 2 hours, or until the cube steaks are tender and the sauce is bubbling.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme if desired. This dish pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
