MAW MAW'S COUNTRY-STYLE STEAK

Steps:

• Cut any large pieces of steak into roughly 4-inch-wide pieces after tenderizing vigorously (or get your butcher to tenderize). Place a single layer of steak in the bottom of a slow cooker.
• Peel and slice the onion into ¼-inch-wide rings. Place half the rings over the steak. Sprinkle with half the pepper. Layer the rest of the steak over the rings and top with the remaining onion and pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine the soup, gravy mix and 1 cup lukewarm water; mix well. Pour the mixture over the steak, and cover the slow cooker. Cook on high heat for 6 hours or low heat for 10 hours. Remove steak to a large platter, and spoon the gravy on top. Serve immediately.

COUNTRY STYLE STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the flour into a pie pan. Dredge the pieces of meat on both sides in the flour. Tenderize the meat, using a needling device, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick. Dredge in the flour again and set aside.
• Add enough of the vegetable oil or bacon fat to just cover the bottom of a 4 to 5-quart Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a plate and repeat until all of the steaks have been browned.
• Remove the last steaks from the pot and add the chicken broth and thyme and whisk until the liquid just comes to a boil. Return the steaks to the pot and make sure they are all submerged in the liquid. Cover the pot and place it in the oven on the middle rack. Cook for 11/2 hours or until the meat is tender and falling apart.

COUNTRY STYLE STEAK LIKE GRANNY USED TO MAKE

Steps:

• 1. Wash and pat dry cube steaks. Sprinkle with salt and dredge in flour, set aside. In large skillet, brown the cube steaks in hot oil a couple of minutes on each side, then lay into slow cooker and set aside.
• 2. In deep skillet (I use a cast-iron fryer), melt grease. While grease is melting, mix flour with salt, pepper, and sugar. When grease is melted, add flour mixture and brown well, stirring constantly. Add milk while stirring constantly. Continue to stir and bring gravy to a boil, but Do not allow to thicken.
• 3. Pour gravy over browned cube steaks and add additional salt and pepper, if desired. Turn slow cooker on high and cover. After about 1 hour, turn cooker down to low and cook for about three more hours, gently stirring occasionally.
• 4. About the last hour of cooking, check on the gravy. If too thick, thin down with a little water or milk, stirring or whisking gently. If too thin, mix a couple of tablespoons cornstarch with water to make a pourable paste. Slowly and gently stir into gravy. You must be very gentle when stirring so as not to break up the tender meat too much.
• 5. When gravy is the desired consistency and meat is tender, turn slow cooker off or to keep warm. Serve over rice or mashed potatoes and with your favorite veggies.

CAJUN SEVEN (7) STEAK

Steps:

• Wipe the steaks dry and season the seven steaks with salt, black pepper,cayenne, garlic and onion powder or use any type Cajun seasoning combination. In a cast iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, add the steaks and brown the meat on both sides. Remove the meat from the pan after browning; add the sliced onions, bell pepper and garlic; sauté until the onions are soft and starting to caramelize.
• Return the steaks to the skillet and the add beef stock or water. There should be enough stock or water to cover the meat mixture. Stir to blend and then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer. Cover and cook approximately one hour or until fork tender. The water will reduce and the result will be a light brown oniony gravy. If the gravy is to thin; move the lid on the skillet and allow some steam to escape thereby reducing the thinness of the gravy. Serve the gravy and meat over rice or creamed potatoes with sweet petit pois peas and sliced cabbage slaw. With this dish you just "gotta lick the bone".
