Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

Cube steaks are quickly simmered in a beefy tomato sauce for an easy weeknight dinner.

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 beef cube steaks, about 6 ounces each
1 cup prepared beef stock
1 can (8 ounce size) Italian style stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 teaspoon garlic granules
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
In a shallow dish, combine flour, paprika and black pepper. Add steaks and turn to coat lightly. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium high heat. Cook steaks 3-5 minutes on each side. Transfer steaks to a platter and cover to keep warm.
Reduce heat to medium and add broth, tomatoes and garlic powder to the skillet. Heat until the mixture just begins to boil, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, stir together water and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly add to the tomato mixture, stirring until thickened. Return the steaks to the skillet and cook until heated through.

Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

Super easy and tasty! I used pressed garlic instead of powder. The cube steak was very tender and the sauce was delicious. *MY* picky kids loved it :)

This was fantastic! The cube steak was so flavorful this way and very tender. The tomato gravy was delicious. I used low sodium beef broth so I added a little salt to the gravy but that was my only change.
It smelled good but my kids did not like it. It was pretty easy, but that doesn't matter when the family won't eat it. They like cube steak that is grilled and plain. It was juicy though.
