Even though it’s called “Poor Man’s Cubed Steak,” this dish still makes me feel like I’ve won the lottery. (Page 2 ) | February 8, 2024

+Why do we use meat cubes?

Regular steak refers to the thick cut of beef taken from the tender parts of the animal, known for its tenderness, marbling, and flavour. On the other hand, cube steak (or sometimes called a “micro steak”) is thin slices of beef that have been mechanically tenderized, often from a tougher cut. The giving process creates a distinctive texture with cubic patterns on the surface.

Regular steaks are usually cooked using high-heat methods to maintain tenderness, while flank steaks are often used in recipes that require longer cooking times to achieve tenderness, such as stews and casseroles. A plain steak is enjoyed on its own, while cubed steaks make an economical meal option that’s both flavorful and budget-friendly (exactly what we want here!).
