Smothered Cube Steak In Coconut Flour Gravy Food

SMOTHERED CUBE STEAK IN COCONUT FLOUR GRAVY

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.
• 4. NOTES: I am sure you know you CAN USE ALL PURPOSE flour in this recipe, I am merely trying to add a little fiber to the diet where ever I can. We loved this recipe and I am confident that you and your family will too.

SMOTHERED CUBE STEAK

Steps:

• 1. Season both sides of cube steaks with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning. Rub a little flour into both sides of each cube steak.
• 2. Heat vegetable oil in skillet over over medium heat. Add cube steaks and cook 5 minutes each side. Remove cooked steaks to a platter, and cover with foil to keep warm.
• 3. Add mushrooms, onion and garlic to skillet with pan drippings, and cook about 5 minutes or until mushrooms and onions are tender, stirring frequently to scrape up browned bits from the skillet. (I added a little Cajun seasoning too, but that wasn't in the original recipe.)
• 4. Stir 2 tablespoons of flour into the gravy. Add the broth and thyme, and stir well. Cook over medium heat until gravy is thickened. Return cube steaks to skillet and heat several minutes in the gravy, turn and cook other side for several minutes or until heated through and cooked thoroughly. Add a little more broth if the gravy thickens too quickly.

SMOTHERED ROUND STEAK WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Sprinkle each side of the round steak pieces with salt and pepper, rubbing seasoning into the meat.
• Combine 1/2 cup flour and garlic powder in a 1-gallon resealable bag. Add steak pieces, seal bag, and shake to evenly coat all the pieces.
• Heat 1/3 cup of oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add seasoned and floured steak pieces to the skillet in a single layer in batches and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining pieces, adding more oil, if necessary, until all are browned.
• Add onion slices to the same skillet and stir, coating onions with pan drippings, until onion slices have separated and are just beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Move onions to one side of the skillet and return browned steak pieces to the skillet. Spread steak evenly in the skillet and place onions on top.
• Stir together water, beef base, and Worcestershire sauce in a microwave-safe container. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and pour into the skillet. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the steak is tender, about 45 minutes.
• Remove the steak from the skillet and add reserved 1/2 cup of flour to the pan drippings. Increase heat to medium; stir briskly and cook until bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in milk and keep stirring until gravy bubbles again. Return steak, onions, and any accumulated juices to the skillet, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors are well combined, about 10 minutes.
