Steak and Gravy

2 lbs round steak cut into serving size pieces
Flour
1 package dried onion soup mix
Oil

Roll steak pieces in flour. Brown in oil, remove. Make gravy with flour and soup mix. Add water to make thin. Pour gravy into crock pot and add steaks. Cook on low for 2-3 hours, or until steak in tender and gravy has thickened to your liking.

So I was going through my recipes, and I wanted to try something of my Grandmother's that I had never made before. This isn't the exact recipe that I was given. I modified it for us so that we would be able to have plenty of leftovers that Vann could take home with him, and that I could have after work. I was so nervous about how this would turn out. Especially since it's my Grandmother's recipe...I mean, nothing ever tastes as good as what Grandma makes! But I've got to give myself major props for this one, if I may say so myself! It was incredible! The meat was tender, the gravy was nice and thick, but not too thick, and the onion soup wasn't overpowering at all. In fact, it was perfect. I made the loaded baked potato salad to go along with this, and we got a great deal on a loaf of sourdough bread at Kroger. Needless to say after we both ate we were stuffed like turkeys.

Now, when Vann ate his, he had a great idea to make a sandwich. He just took the sourdough bread, lightly toasted it, then put some American cheese on the steak, heated it up enough to where to cheese was nice and melted, and threw it on the bread. Either way you choose to eat this, I guaruntee you will love it.
