Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pkg onion soup mix
1/4 c flour
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp season-all
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 lb round steak
1/4 c shortening
1 tsp basil, dried (i use a little more to taste)
1 tsp beef flavor base
1 c hot water
1 medium green bell pepper, cut in rings
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • 1. Mix 3 tablespoons of dry soup mix with flour, mustard, Season-All and pepper; pound into steak pieces. In heavy skillet brown meat on both sides in hot shortening.
  • 2. Add the rest of the dry soup mix, the remaining flour mixture and remaining ingredients in recipe. Cover, bring to a boil. Add water if you find the gravy becoming too thick from the flour mixture. Reduce heat and simmer 1 1/2 hours or until tender, adding water as needed to keep the gravy a good consistency.
  • 3. Remove bay leaf before serving. If desired, garnish with pimento. Serve with the gravy poured over hot, buttery mashed potatoes, that is my favorite way!
