cube steak/ country style steak recipe?

[Captain Morgan]

This was my favorite meal from my mother. The old electric skillet,
floured cube steaks simmering in their own gravy with sliced onions...

seems simple enough....anyone got a good recipe/technique?

There's a Good Eats episode on cube steak that has a few varieties.
I bought a needler for them, but I haven't used it yet.

My Granny made a killer version of the stuff which was commonly called smothered steak. Seem to recall she browned it on the stove top then made a brown gravy from the pan drippings..added the steak back to the gravy and moved it to the oven to finish with a lid on it. More along the lines of Swiss Steak w/o all the veggies. Do think it may have had a few onywans in it. The recipe at the link below is real close to how she did it cept it calls for bacon which I don't recall being in hers..but she was most likely frying it up in bacon grease which should give it a similar flavor profile.
