Minute Steak With Gravy Food

CUBE STEAK WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Whisk flour, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a shallow bowl. Spread 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture onto a plate; press each cube steak into flour mixture to coat completely.
• Place coated steaks on a work surface and pound each several times with a meat tenderizer on each side to pound flour into steak. Pound each steak a second time to further incorporate flour mixture into the meat.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until skillet is about 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cook steaks in hot butter until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer steaks and any stray pieces of meat to a plate and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm. Let skillet cool briefly.
• Heat the same skillet over low heat. Pour enough milk into the skillet to cover the bottom of the pan. Whisk 1 tablespoon flour mixture into hot milk until gravy has a cream-like consistency, 10 to 15 minutes. Add more flour mixture as necessary to thicken gravy. Transfer any steak scraps back into the skillet and season gravy with salt and black pepper.
• Place hot steaks on plates and top with gravy.

MINUTE STEAK WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY

• In a bowl, whisk together the first 4 ingredients; set aside.
• Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper over steaks.
• In a shallow dish, stir together the remaining salt and pepper, and flour; dredge steaks in flour mixture.
• In a large skillet, let the oil get hot over medium-high heat; fry steaks 2 minutes on each side.
• Remove steaks, reserving drippings in skillet.
• Add mushrooms and thyme to skillet; stir/saute 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned.
• Stir soup mixture into mushroom mixture; cook 1 minute, stirring to loosen particles from the bottom of skillet.
• Bring to a boil and return steaks to skillet.
• Cover, lower heat, and simmer 15-20 minutes or until done.

GRANNY'S STEAK AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Sprinkle both sides of the steak with the salt, cayenne, and black pepper. Rub seasoning into meat. In a large skillet, heat oil over high heat until hot. Add steak and cook on high until browned, turning steak every 3 to 4 minutes. (Lower heat if necessary.) The steak should be well browned on both sides. Remove steak and add onions and bell peppers to pan. Cook until wilted. Place steak on top of onions and bell peppers and add 1/4 cup of water. Lower heat to medium, cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, turning steak every 20 minutes. (Note: when lifting lid of pot, let the water from the lid drain into the pot.) When steak is tender, remove steak and place on a platter. Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water and add to the pot. Stir to make a gravy. Serve gravy over hot rice with steak.

MINUTE STEAK AND MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Slice mushrooms (if using fresh) and saute in butter until tender.
• If using a can, drain well.
• Set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat oil.
• Salt minute steaks and dredge in flour.
• Fry until breading is brown.
• **Make sure when frying you leave the meat long enough for the breading to fry until it sets, as it will fall off if not fried long enough.
• This is what makes it GOOOOD!
• When the meat is fried, place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
• Place in a 2 quart casserole dish and keep warm.
• Leave 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet and remove the rest.
• Add cream of mushroom soup, milk, and mushrooms, stirring constantly.
• Let soup simmer on med-low heat until throughly heated.
• Pour over warm meat and serve.

EASY CROCKPOT CUBED OR MINUTE STEAK

Steps:

• PLEASE DO NOT SALT THIS RECIPE! THERE IS ENOUGH SALT IN THE BETTER THAN BOULLION BEEF BASE THAT I DOUBT YOU WILL NEED IT!
• Add your steak to your crockpot (I have an oval large crockpot).
• Add 1 T. Better Than Boullion Beef Base to measuring cup with two cups of water and microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes, stir and add to the crockpot.
• Add optional items to your preference.
• Cook this on high for about 3 hours if you are in a hurry or about 4 hours on low. Circulate the meat at least once through the cooking process to make sure none of your meat is stuck together and all is cooking evenly.
• Gravy:.
• I use an old jelly jar with a lid but you can use whatever you have on hand even if you don't have a jar with a lid, just mix it with a spoon to make sure it is lump free ----.
• Add about 3 T. flour to about a cup of water or so (I fill my jelly jar about 3/4 of the way up with water). You do not want to over dilute because this is your thickening agent for your gravy! Mix well or shake your jar to make sure all the flour is well mixed and no lumps. I add hot water because it seems to help it mix and minimize any lumps.
• Add about half of your mixture to your liquid and gently stir. This will thicken fairly quickly. If it is not thick enough, continue adding small amounts of your remaining water/flour mix until you have the desired thickness.
• Add a drop of browning sauce, stir and serve!
• If your gravy is too thick add small amounts of water and stir to get it the right consistency. If it is runny, your thickener was too thin, make more thickener with less water than the first time and more flour, add in small increments until desired consistency.
• I would not cook this cut of meat more than 4 hours in the crock or it will be falling apart and in pieces.
