Submitted by TiffanyH.

"Makes a tender Country Fried Steak with a thick gravy...certainly not healthy but it is DELICIOUS!"

directions

1. Preheat oven to 375.

This was really VERY good. I did make just a couple of changes since I had a recipe idea in mind when I found this. First Oh and I seasoned the steak with steak seasoning before I browned it in the skillet. I dont have a cast iron skillet so I used a regular skillet and transferred the meat and gravy to a glass baking dish for the oven cooking. For the gravy Instead of 2 cups water I used about 3 cups of beef broth. I wanted the extra flavor and still found it was super thick after only 2 cups of broth. What I loved was how much gravy I ended up with. Plenty for mashed potatoes too. I cooked on 350 for about 50-55 mins so it was a little more tender. I will definiately make this again!!
