3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 lbs beef round steak, cut about 1 inch thick,cut into 6 pcs
1/4 cup shortening
2 cups chopped onions
1 (16 ounce) cans tomatoes ( I use crushed)
1 (4 ounce) packages shredded sharp cheddar cheese ( 1 cup)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In cup, combine flour, salt, chili powder and pepper.
Trim any excess fat from round steak; place meat on board and sprinkle with some flour mixture.
With meat mallet or edge of saucer, pound mixture into meat.
(This helps tenderize it).
Turn and repeat on other side.
In 10 inch skillet over medium-high heat, in hot shortening, cook meat until well browned on all sides; remove meat to board.
In drippings, cook onions until browned; stir in remaining flour mixture.
Spoon onion mixture into a large shallow casserole.
Arrange steaks on top, then add tomatoes and their liquid.
Cover and bake 1-1/2 hours or until meat is fork-tender.
Spoon any fat from casserole.
Sprinkle steaks with cheese.
Heat 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
