Minute steak and cube steak are not synonymous, they're not even
closely related. Minute steak is a thin medallion cut from a
relatively tender cut of beef that cooks up hot and fast, ergo minute.
Cube steak is from a tough cut of beef that goes through a cubing
machine and benefits from long slow braising. Many folks and even
many references confuse the two.
