I've made the following Alton Brown recipe using cube steaks. Very good! I
used Penzeys French thyme (nice stuff).

Country Style Steak
Recipe By :Alton Brown
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Beef
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pounds round steaks -- trimmed of fat
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil -- or bacon drippings
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2006
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices and season on both
sides with salt and pepper. Place the flour into a pie pan. Dredge the
pieces of meat on both sides in the flour. Tenderize the meat, using a
needling device, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick. Dredge in the flour
again and set aside.
Add enough of the vegetable oil or bacon fat to just cover the bottom of a 4
to 5-quart Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to
shimmer, add the steaks to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook
until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove
the steaks to a plate and repeat until all of the steaks have been browned.
Remove the last steaks from the pot and add the chicken broth and thyme and
whisk until the liquid just comes to a boil. Return the steaks to the pot
and make sure they are all submerged in the liquid. Cover the pot and place
it in the oven on the middle rack. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the
meat is tender and falling apart.
