Here's a Southwestern version of the South's (and Texas') gravy for country fried (or chicken fried) steaks. But don't you *dare* relegate this gem of a sauce to beaten chunks of beef alone, no Sir! Pour this on beef or pork steaks or roasts, meatloaf, chicken parts, hearty fish like trout or salmon, not to mention most veggies and potatoes. And don't forget the biscuits or dinner rolls to sop up those last few drops! Like the man said, "This would even make the bumper of a bus taste good!" Be careful, though, because it can become very habit-forming. Don't say I didn't warn ya!
