Country Style Steak & Gravy

I am not very good with measuring when I am cooking and I never actually measure anything out unless I am baking which needs to be precise.  I can tell by looking most of the time and therefore I don't measure when I cook so it makes it difficult for me to share recipes exactly by the measurements.  Here is the idea of how I do this.

Ingredients
  • 6 to 8 Cube Steaks
  • 1 cup flour
  • Black Pepper - I use a lot
  • Mortons Nature's Seasons Seasoning Blend - to taste (it has salt already in it)
  • Butter
  • Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Medium Onion sliced really thin - sometimes I do this and sometimes I don't.
  • 1 Large Family Size Cream of Mushroom Soup - depending on how much I am making - we like a bunch of gravy. 
Directions
Mix flour, pepper, and seasoning blend together making sure your flour is well seasoned (I find it takes a lot to season flour).  Coat both sides of cube steak in flour mixture until well coated.  Heat oil and butter together in a skillet and brown steak.  Place the browned steak in a crock pot on low.  Put thinly sliced onions on top of the cube steak.  Mix soup and about 3/4 cup water (guessing on this) with steak drippings and whisk until it comes to a boil (I don't get it too thin at this point because in the crock pot it tends to get thinner).  At this point I add more pepper to make sure the gravy is seasoned well also.  Pour gravy over steak and onions in crock pot.  Cook on low for at least 6 hours. 

This recipe was given to me by a friend at Church and I modified it some and this is what I do.  I hope you will enjoy it as much as my family.  This is my Daddy's favorite.  It is always good and it's really easy to make.

The next day I like to put it on a bun and it eat for lunch.
