   use of "cubed" when meaning "diced" or "in cubes".

    Categories: Beef, Dairy   
         Yield: 4 servings   
       
         4    (6 oz ea) beef cubed steaks;   
              - 1/4" thick   
       1/4 c  Worcestershire sauce   
         1 c  Flour   
       1/2 ts Salt   
       1/2 ts Black pepper

       1/2 c  Vegetable oil   
     1 1/4 c  Milk   
       1/4 c  Chicken broth   
       
     In a large resealable bag, marinate cube steaks in   
     Worcestershire sauce 30 minutes in the refrigerator.   
        
     Place flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Pour

     To make the gravy, add 1/3 cup of remaining flour   
     mixture to skillet. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until flour   
     is browned, stirring constantly. Whisk in milk and   
     broth, stirring until thickened. Serve gravy over steak.
