- Sprinkle about 5 tablespoons of flour over the meat.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a few garlic cloves during cooking. If you don't have cubed steak, you can substitute with pork chops or chicken thighs. To thicken the gravy, whisk in a bit more flour or cornstarch mixed with water before serving. Remember to adjust seasoning to taste, especially with the addition of any new ingredients.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this country-style steak with creamy mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious gravy. A side of steamed green beans or a fresh salad complements the dish nicely. For a heartier meal, consider pairing it with **Carrot Relish Or Copper Pennies** for a tangy contrast to the savory steak.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak and gravy in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave it in a covered dish, checking every minute to avoid overcooking.
