Cube Steak and Gravy with Green Beans

This meal was so easy, very low priced and so good! It is a stick to your bones good old, like my Papa made southern food. So if your on a diet maybe let it be your cheat day ;-). 

Steak and Gravy: 
1lb or 4 cube steak (I used venison) 
1 small yellow onion, large diced
5 tbsp butter - I know but it's needed. If you used beef you could get away with 3 since it will put off its own fat. Venison is very lean and you have to give it fat. 
2/3 cup AP flour 
1 1/2-2 cups beef broth
Garlic salt
Salt
Black pepper 
1/2 tsp Paprika 

How to:
-Put butter in large skillet on medium high
-Add onion 
-Let butter melt and onion cook a bit
-Add steaks, let cook on both sides till medium well. 
-Remove steaks, you can leave them whole or cut in to pieces. I cut mine to make it more kid friendly.  
-Add flour to butter and onion stirring till a thick paste, cook till golden brown. 
-Whisk in broth till all mixed together and smooth.
-Add seasonings to your taste. Remember if you use salted butter don't over due the salt. I always use unsalted so I needed a good bit, but always taste as you go! 
-Add steaks back and let summer on low thill thick. 
-Serve over rice or potatoes 

How to:
Green beans: 
Fresh green beans, trim the ends 
Chicken broth
1 tbsp butter 
Garlic salt and Black Pepper to taste 

-Trim and rinse beans 
-Put in pot and cover with broth, boil till tenderness you want. My family likes them pretty well done. 
-Pull out of stock 
-Add butter and seasonings and a little bit of broth. 
-Toss and serve.
It's that easy for tasty green beans everyone will like that are not out of a can! 


Enjoy!
