Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cube steaks, about 1 1/4-1 1/2 pounds
2 medium bell peppers, red or green or mixed,cut in strips
1 large onion sliced thick then separated
1-1 1/2 tsp lawrey's seasoned salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp italian seasoning
8 oz canned sliced mushrooms, undrained
2 tsp granulated garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp paprika
1/2 c coconut flour, or all purpose
2 Tbsp olive oil or canola oil
1 Tbsp heaping full corn starch (optional)
1/2 c water

Steps:

1. Combine spices in a large zip lock bag, then add coconut flour and mix thourgly to combine. Dredge each steak in coconut flour mixture, ensuring that both sides are covered, then place on a platter at room temperature and allow seasoning to penetrate the steaks, about 15 to 25 minutes. This allows them to come to room temperature and they will cook faster.
2. Next add the oil to a large skillet and heat so it will be hot when steaks are ready to go in. Then carefully add steaks to skillet, and let brown on both sides.
3. Then add the sliced onion rings, bell peppers, and canned sliced mushrooms liquid and all. Mix the corn starch with the 1/2 cup water, stir to mix, and pour over meat & vegetables, LOWER HEAT. Cover with a tight fitting lid and allow to simmer till tender about 35 to 45 minutes. Stirring occassionally to prevent sticking. Serve while still hot, over Mashed Potatoes or Rice or pasta, with a vegetable of your choice.
