  3. Brown Steaks: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and cook the dredged cube steaks until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Sauté Vegetables: Remove browned steaks and sauté onions and bell peppers until softened, then add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add Sauce Ingredients: Pour in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir well.
  6. Nestle Steaks: Place the browned cube steaks into the sauce, cover, and simmer gently on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours.
