A plate of Southern cube steak with gravy, two biscuits, and potato salad, held by a hand with pink nail polish. Text highlights it as yummy, delectable, and delicious despite not being healthy.
Raw cube steak pieces are being dredged in a metal bowl filled with flour, preparing them for cooking.
Two pieces of cube steak are frying in a pan on a stovetop, cooking until browned on each side.
PSA your food doesn’t have to be healthy
Are you even from the south if you don’t know how to cook up some cube steak and gravy?? It’s not the healthiest meal but it’s SO good. We don’t eat it all the time, but when we do we’re obsessed. It’s a labor of love for sure, especially because the kitchen gets so dirty with that grease popping!
