Braised Cubed Steak with Peppers and Olives

Am I the only one who walks down memory lane when cube steak is in a recipe? We used to have cube steak ALL the time growing up. Mom used to use it all the time when making her famous Chicken Fried Steak. 

This recipe was super easy and super flavorful. It certainly fills you up. I used cauliflower rice and it was delicious!
