How to Make Baked Steak

Baked Steak is a great homestyle recipe that conjures up memories of dinner at Grandma's. A tender, delicious baked steak is easier than you may think. Whether you choose to use an oven or a crock pot, this baked steak recipe is guaranteed to please!

Instructions

1. For the best baked steak, buy a quality cut of cubed steaks. Unless they are small, one per serving will be just right. Don't forget to get extra for baked steak leftovers! Place baked steak patties in a bowl covered with milk and set aside.

2. Place two cups of all purpose flour in a large bowl. Add a few dashes of garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper to flour, and mix well. Set bowl of flour mixture aside.

3. In a large skillet over medium high heat, place a few tbs vegetable oil and heat through. When oil is hot you are ready to brown your steak patties for your baked steak!

4. Dip each baked steak patty in flour mixture, making sure to evenly coat each side, and place in hot oil. Let brown for a minute, flip, and then transfer to a crock pot or an oven safe dish.

5. After all baked steak patties are browned, add about a half cup of vegetable oil to skillet, turn down heat to low, and stir up the bits of browned flour and steak drippings. Add a little of the flour mixture at a time, stirring frequently, until you have a nice brown gravy. Pour over baked steak patties.

6. Top your baked steak with slices of onions and mushrooms (optional.) Cook in crock pot on low heat for 6 hours, OR place in oven, covered, on 275 degrees for 2-3 hours.

Tips & Warnings

• If your gravy is getting a little thick, you may add some of the milk you soaked your steak patties in to thin it out.

• Gravy from a jar works well, too, and is probably a healthier alternative.

• Cream of Mushroom soup also works well in place of gravy.
