Country-Style Steak with Curry Gravy

mmmmm... I really like this one. I made this the first time.... YEARS ago. Hubby even likes it, although now if I suggest it he says he doesn't like curry, I fix it a couple weeks later and he loves it. Just can't ask him if he wants this or that. LOL

Country-Style Steak with Curry Gravy pg 326 in The Spice Cookbook

2 lbs boneless chuck or round steak 1/4 C flour

2 tsp salt 2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper 2 Tbs shortening

2 C sliced onion

_________________________________________

1 C boiling water 1/2 C sliced carrots

1/2 C sliced celery

_________________________________________

1 Tbs flour 3/4 tsp curry powder

1/2 tsp salt Dash garlic powder

Trim excess fat from meat and discard it. Cut steak into serving-size pieces. Score meat or beat with a mallet on a board to break up fibers. Dredge in flour mixed with the 2 tsp salt and pepper. Brown on both sides in shortening in a 10-inch skillet. Add onions, cover, and cook 10 minutes or until onions are limp. Add next 3 ingredients.

Cover and simmer 20 minutes or until meat is tender. Place steak and vegetables on a warm platter. Combine remaining ingredients and add to pan drippings. Stir and cook until gravy is thick. Serve over mashed potatoes or rice.
