Chuck Steak is usually tough & tasteless, but not when prepared like this! I like making a gravy with the drippings & serving it with Mashed Potatoes With Carrots Choose a boneless chuck steak that isn't too fat, but has some nice marbling. You can also use Beef Short Ribs for this.
Ingredients:
3 lbs chuck steaks
flour, enough for dredging (about 2/3 c. )
1/4 cup butter flavor crisco
seasoning salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 medium spanish onion, sliced
1/2 cup water (or beef broth)
Directions:
1. Cut the meat into about 1 inch strips.
2. Dredge meat in the flour, shaking off the excess.
3. In a dutch oven, melt shortening over med.-high heat (WATCH CAREFULLY - if it smokes, it's too hot).
4. Brown meat on all sides - do in batches, if need be).
5. Season to taste.
6. Drain fat from dutch oven & return the meat.
7. Place sliced on over the meat & then add the water.
8. Cover & simmer on LOW heat for 2 to 21/2 hours OR place in a 325° for the same amount of time.
