This is one of my favorite recipes from childhood. I couldn't find my recipe and was so happy to find your post. I always called it 'Ketchup Steak', not until I was cooking out on my own did my mom tell be it's real name.

This was effortless and very tasty. Upon Barbs recommendation I decreased the flour to 2 Tbsp. and it provided enough gravy without being pasty. I cut the round steak in individual pieces to save time during dinner time. Thank You!

The steak had a very good flavor & tender, But next time I will add LESS flour the sauce was like paste. I made it just like the recipe said. I am making it again with less flour or without as the sauce would be good with rice.
