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.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound beef cube steaks
½ cup olive oil
2 cups beef broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

COUNTRY STYLE STEAK

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds beef bottom round, trimmed of excess fat
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil or bacon drippings
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme

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.

  • 3. Spray crock pot with Pam before you turn it on to get hot.
  • 4. As the steaks begin to get done, layer them in the crock pot.

EASY COUNTRY STYLE STEAK



Easy Country Style Steak image

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.
