SMOTHERED STEAK AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Cut round steak into serving pieces
• Heat bacon grease in cast iron skillet
• Season meat with salt and pepper to taste
• Brown both sides of round steak until nice and brown
• Transfer meat to a platter.
• Gravy
• Scrape the any of the drippings that are sticking to the bottom of the pan. Heat drippings over medium heat.
• Sprinkle flour onto the drippings. Quickly stir with a whisk or slotted spoon so that the flour gets incorporated in the drippings. Let the flour brown a bit, before adding liquid. (you can also start with a mixture of flour and water)
• Whisk while slowly adding liquid like stock or water to dissolve the flour into the liquid.
• Allow the gravy to simmer and thicken and continue to slowly add liquid until you have enough gravy to cover the browned meat.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Always taste first before adding more salt! It may not need it.)
• Add the browned meat into the gravy, making sure the meat is covered. Cover pan and place in a low oven for several hours. May need to add some liquid to keep the meat covered.
• Make a pan of cornbread and a pan of rice. Serve and use gravy over the meat and the rice.

SMOTHERED ROUND STEAK WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Sprinkle each side of the round steak pieces with salt and pepper, rubbing seasoning into the meat.
• Combine 1/2 cup flour and garlic powder in a 1-gallon resealable bag. Add steak pieces, seal bag, and shake to evenly coat all the pieces.
• Heat 1/3 cup of oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add seasoned and floured steak pieces to the skillet in a single layer in batches and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining pieces, adding more oil, if necessary, until all are browned.
• Add onion slices to the same skillet and stir, coating onions with pan drippings, until onion slices have separated and are just beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Move onions to one side of the skillet and return browned steak pieces to the skillet. Spread steak evenly in the skillet and place onions on top.
• Stir together water, beef base, and Worcestershire sauce in a microwave-safe container. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and pour into the skillet. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the steak is tender, about 45 minutes.
• Remove the steak from the skillet and add reserved 1/2 cup of flour to the pan drippings. Increase heat to medium; stir briskly and cook until bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in milk and keep stirring until gravy bubbles again. Return steak, onions, and any accumulated juices to the skillet, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors are well combined, about 10 minutes.
