"swiss" Round Steak With Onion Gravy

We always called this "Salisbury Steak", but it does not have tomatoes. Comfort food at it's best...

• Ready In: 2 hrs 30 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2-2  lbs  round steaks
• 1⁄2-1  cup flour
•  salt
•  pepper
• 2 -3  tablespoons  oil
• 1  large onion, sliced
• 2  garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 -3  cups beef broth

Directions

1. Cut round steak into 6 serving size pieces.
2. On a cutting board, dredge pieces with flour, salt and pepper.
3. Pound flour into the meat with a meat mallet.
4. Turn pieces, dredge, and pound until they can't hold any more flour.
5. (This can be a messy process, so be warned!).
6. In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil and brown steak pieces on both sides.
7. Place in a covered casserole.
8. Add onions and garlic to the skillet.
9. Saute until onions are limp (5 minutes).
10. Place onions and garlic over steak pieces in casserole dish.
11. Add enough beef broth to barely cover meat.
12. The flour from the meat will thicken the broth as it bakes and will make its own gravy.

14. Serve over noodles or mashed potatoes.
