This is a meat and gravy all in one dish. It's key to keep enough liquid in your skillet while cooking to provide gravy when it's done. You can use basically any cut of steak, because of the low & slow cooking method, any cut will turn out tender.

  • 1
    Dice carrots, celery and onion.

    Cut meat into large cubes, drizzle with olive oil. Season with garlic, onion pwd., mrs. dash, & pepper. Rub to coat meat well, then sprinkle enough flour to lightly coat meat. Drizzle with a little Worcestershire sauce.
  • 3
    Place steak in a large cast iron or oven proof skillet, baking dish or dutch oven. Add vegetables on top. Pour enough hot water into pan to come almost to top of meat, cover bake 400* for 30 min., reduce to 325* bake for 1 1/2 hours, checking liquid level half way through. Add more water or broth if level is very low.
