Recipe Summary
Prep Time: 15 minutesCook Time: 1 hour
Yield: 4 servings
List of Ingredients
1 1/2 cups, plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 (4-ounce) tenderized beef round steak (have butcher run them through
cubing machine)
1 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 cups hot water
1/2 teaspoon monosodium glutamate (recommended: Ac'cent), optional
1 bunch green onions, or 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
Recipe
Combine 1 1/2 cups flour and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a small bowl.
Sprinkle 1 side of the meat with the House Seasoning and the other side
with the seasoning salt, and then dredge the meat in the flour mixture.
Heat 1/2 cup oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 or
4 of the steaks to the hot oil, and fry until browned, about 5-6 minutes
per side. Remove each steak to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat
with the remaining steaks, adding up to 1/4 cup more oil, as needed.
Make the gravy by adding the 2 tablespoons remaining flour to the pan
drippings, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon. Stir in the remaining
1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the salt. Reduce the heat to medium and cook,
stirring frequently, until the flour is medium brown and the mixture is
bubbly. Slowly add the water and the Ac'cent, if using, stirring
constantly. Return the steaks to the skillet and bring to a boil over
medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, and place the onions on top of
the steaks. Cover the pan, and let simmer for 30 minutes.
House Seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6
months.
Yield: 1 1/2 cups
