Help for Hobbies of all Sorts by Rene' Hobbie

Do you have a favorite dish that you look forward to eating when you go home to visit?  I certainly do, and this is one of them.  Let me show you how to make Sensational Smothered Steak. 

Start out with enough tenderized round steak to feed your family.  If it isn't tenderized, have the butcher run it through the tenderizer for you.  Cut into serving sizes.

Dust both sides of each piece with a flour, salt, garlic powder, and pepper mixture. 

Brown it in any kind of oil you have on hand.  Bacon drippings are the best.  After each piece has been cooked, remove the meat from the pan.  Drain the pan of any leftover oil. 

Return the meat to the pan and add enough water to cover the meat.  Add a can of sliced mushrooms (if you like),  chopped onions (so your child can pick them out like mine does), three beef bouillon cubes, and a couple of drops of Kitchen Bouquet.  Bring to a boil, cover, and then simmer for an hour and a half or until meat gets tender.  (Watch the level of your water during the simmering process to make sure that it always barely covers the meat.  Add more if too much cooks off.)  Thicken juices with a mixture of flour and water if needed.  Serve over rice or mashed potatoes.  Your family will love it!
