>gets, >>8334841, a suggestion for cube steak
Is that what you wanted or did you want minute steak after all?
Are cube steak and minute steak different names for the same thing where you are?
AFAIK, minute steak is where a hunk of beef is partially frozen then sliced very, very thinly using a deli slicer. Freezing it helps the slicer cut through without the meat fussing about too much.
Did you mean that?
We call it cubed steak around here, usually a cut of top round. I just do a flour dredge only that has salt pepper cayenne and garlic powder in it. Then just pan fry in a shallow amount of oil. I like it a lot honestly even though it's poverty meat

The pic looks exactly like what's in my fridge...

that's chipped beef
minute steak is thin cuts of london broil or similar 1/4" or so, that will cook in literally one minute in a hot pan
browned and braised in chicken stock with bay and thyme until it's butter. Have green beans/peas and mashed potatoes at the ready.

You're probably long gone, but here are a few other suggestions:
Do as >>8334841 and make chicken fried steak. Just dredge in seasoned flour, allow the flour to hydrate through with what moisture the salt in your seasoning leeches out from the steak then dredge again and fry. Serve with milk gravy, which is basically bechamel sauce + onion and black pepper.
While I like CFS, I can never figure out a good side to pair it with, so I usually slice it into strips and make chicken-fried steak tendies instead because tendies of all sorts go great with fries. I make the milk gravy as usually, but put in a little bowl to dip my tendies into. Add a salad and you've got yourself a meal.
Option two is onion-and-mushroom gravy. Pan sear the steak in butter then remove from the pan. Add chopped onion, sliced mushroom and some flour to the pan and cook to a medium-dark shade then add beef stock or mushroom broth. Whisk to dissolve the flour mixture and thicken the gravy then re-add the steak. Serve with mash and some greenery like broccoli, fried cabbage or stewed collards.
A third would be pizzaiola. Pan-sear the steak as before, this time in olive oil, then remove. Crush a garlic clove and toss it into the pan with the. Set to high heat and, when fragrant, add some hand-crushed tomatoes. Be sure you've squeezed them of as much juice as possible or the hot oil will spit at you. Add a little of that juice at a time to cook the tomatoes and make a sauce then add some dried oregano. Re-add the steak, warm through, off the heat and serve the sauce over pasta and the steak as second course.
A third option could be to flour it as before, then egg wash then panko and deep-fry. Serve with curry gravy, rice and stir-fried mixed veg.

Nah dude. Chipped beef is salted and dried then shaved thinly and dried out a bit further before being packaged for sale. It's not sliced from frozen.

this is a terrible idea, you need to stew the tomatoes and steak long enough to make it tender and tasty, your recipe will make gristle beef in bad ketchup

But there was no mention of how long it would take to make the sauce and cube steak is already mechanically tenderised.
