I found this recipe the other day and decided to try it since I'm looking for yummy skillet recipes to send to Logan. Mom sent it out in an email back in 1998. It was so good! I'll describe how I did it.
1/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt (I only used 1 teaspoon)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup water
1 (10.5 ounce) can beef broth
2 onions, thinly sliced and made into rings
4 potatoes, thinly sliced
Trim excess fat from meat; cut into serving-size pieces. (I had purchased a roast. I sliced the roast into thick slices, maybe about 1/2" thick.) Combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge steak in seasoned flour. (I put the flour mixture in a ziploc bag. Put my steak slices in the bag and shook it up to coat.) Brown the meat in hot oil. Add broth and water. (I used water and bouillon for the broth. Which means I measured about 18 ounces of water and added 1 1/2 teaspoons better than beef bouillon.) Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. (I simmered for 1 hour). Add the onion rings on top of the meat. Cover and simmer for 30 more minutes. Add the potatoes, spreading them out over the top of the meat and onions. Simmer for 30 more minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
