Ingredients:

1 round steak, about 2 pounds

flour

garlic salt

pepper

3 Tablespoons vegetable oil

1 large onion, thinly sliced

3 large potatoes, peeled and thickly sliced

Instructions:

Ask butcher to put steak through cuber. At home, trim the fat off meat and cut into serving-size portions. (Pieces should be about the size of a hamburger patty.)

Mix flour, garlic salt (or other seasoned salt of your choice), and pepper on a plate. Dredge steak pieces in flour mixture.

Heat vegetable oil in Dutch oven. Brown steak pieces in hot oil on both sides, a few at a time. Set meat aside as it is browned. When all meat is browned, add sliced onion to pan, then arrange steak on top of onions. Carefully pour enough warm water into pan to barely cover meat. Cover pan tightly and simmer on stovetop or bake in 350-degree oven for 30 minutes.

Add sliced potatoes to pan and bake 30 minutes more. Check liquid level at intervals and add more water if needed. When done, potatoes will be cooked through, meat will be fork tender, and you will have a delicious onion gravy to spoon over all.

Serves: 4

When Mom worked late, Dad cooked up this special recipe for the family. Everything cooks in one pan, and the meat is tender enough to cut with a fork. Just add a green salad, and maybe chunks of crusty bread to sop up the gravy.… former Innkeeper
