COUNTRY-STYLE STEAK
Mmmm...mmm... This is the recipe that my momma passed down to me. Born and raised in the South, and my momma was raised on a farm, so my family knows a lot about southern cookin'. With this recipe, don't be shy to add other spices to it. This goes great with mashed potatoes, green beans and sweet tea. You can use the gravy from the steak for the mashed potatoes.

COUNTRY STYLE STEAK
This steak recipe is very similar tasting to the country style steak at K&W Cafeteria style restaurants. I use Uncle Ben's boil in bag rice with this as it tastes almost the same as K&W, but mine may be a little better, if I do say so myself! ;)

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 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender and falling apart.

EASY COUNTRY STYLE STEAK
Perfect for when you need something easy that the kids will love. My kids would beg for this with rice or potatoes and, of course, bread to soak up the gravy. Certainly may use sliced onions rather than chopped.Note: After some of the reviews I realized that even though it is quick to put together the cooking does take some time so I have changed the title.

COUNTRY-STYLE STEAK
Steps:
- Place the steak in a casserole dish and generously sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce. Cover and marinate overnight. Remove from the marinade and sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dip the steak in flour and shake. Heat the oil and quickly fry the steak until brown, but do not cook the inside too much. This is done by cooking both sides on high heat, turning quickly, and then reducing heat to low to finish cooking.
- Boil 1/2 cup minced onion in another pot with 1/4 cup of the water for about 5 minutes. When finished cooking as many steaks as desired, leave about 3 tablespoons browned crumbs (not burned) and drippings from steak in skillet. Add onion and 3 tablespoons flour. Stir until slightly browned. Slowly pour in the remaining 3 cups hot water as it thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The gravy may be served over rice or steaks.

Quick, easy, inexpensive, low in fat, and taste WONDERFUL! Cubed steak is normally very lean, and becaused tenderized ("cubed") makes a wonderful steak gravy meal. No need to flour the meat; the soup will provide the necessary thickness for gravy.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a well-marbled steak. Look for steaks with at least 1/4 inch of marbling.
- Season the steak generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to develop a flavorful crust.
- Cook the steak over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, cook the steak for 6-7 minutes per side.
- Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
