Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2 -In a shallow bowl, add the flour, 1 teaspoon of the black pepper, the seasoned salt, and the garlic powder and whisk to combine.

Step 3 -Coat the cube steaks thoroughly with the flour mixture, patting the flour mixture onto the steaks to ensure a good coating.

Step 4 -Reserve 3 tablespoons of the flour mixture.

Step 5 -In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil.

Step 6 -Add the coated steaks, in batches to avoid overcrowding, to the hot oil and cook, flipping them once, until they are golden-brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.

Step 7 -Transfer the browned steaks to a 9x13-inch baking dish and repeat until all of the steaks are browned.

Step 8 -In a bowl, add the reserved flour mixture and the beef broth and whisk until smooth.

Step 9 -Pour the broth mixture over the steaks in the baking dish and cover the dish with foil.

Step 10 -Bake the steaks until the meat is tender and the broth mixture has thickened into a gravy, about 2 hours.

Step 11 -Serve the steaks with the gravy, garnished with the extra black pepper.
