Steps:
- Season the cube steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Pour the flour onto a shallow plate and press the steaks into the flour; shake off the excess flour.

- Pour water into the skillet to almost cover the steaks. Stir the beef bouillon and salt to taste into the water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until very tender, about 2 hours.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Cut of Steak: Select a cut of steak that is tender and flavorful, such as top sirloin, flank steak, or chuck steak.
- Tenderize the Steak: Use a meat mallet or fork to tenderize the steak, breaking down the connective tissue and making it more tender.
- Marinate the Steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade for at least 30 minutes helps to infuse it with flavor and moisture.
- Cook the Steak Over High Heat: When cooking the steak, use high heat to quickly sear the outside and lock in the juices, while keeping the inside tender.
- Don't Overcook the Steak: Overcooking the steak will make it tough and dry. Cook it to your desired doneness, using a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
- Let the Steak Rest: Before serving the steak, let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

By following these tips and recipes, you can create super tender cube steaks that are bursting with flavor. Whether you choose to pan-fry, grill, or bake your steaks, you'll end up with a delicious and satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy.
