Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds cube steaks
⅓ cup flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 large onions (sliced into ¼" rings)
½ cup red wine (or beef broth)
3-4 cups beef broth (+ 1 cup, not low sodium)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon rosemary (chopped)
salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon corn starch

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine flour, salt, & pepper in a shallow plate. Dredge the meat in the flour mixture.
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a dutch oven. Brown steaks on each side (adding additional olive oil if needed). Set aside.
Melt the butter in the dutch oven and cook onions in it until they are tender, add the wine and cook until it reduces. Top with browned steaks.
Add remaining ingredients except for cornstarch. Cover and cook for 2 ½-3 hours or until fork-tender. Halfway through cooking, add 1 more cup of broth so the meat is covered with liquid.
Remove the steaks from the pot and place on a plate covered with foil.
Combine cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Bring liquid in the pot to a boil. Stir in cornstarch slurry and stir until thickened.
Serve over mashed potatoes.
