Country Style Steak & Gravy
6 - 8 pieces cube steak (GiGi's)
1/2 - 1 cup plain flour seasoned w/1/2 t salt & 1/2 t pepper
Crisco for frying
Sprinkle steak with salt. Dredge in seasoned flour. Heat fry pan with Crisco until hot but not smoking. Place floured steaks into pan. Allow to brown; turn and brown second side. Set aside. Use an additional 1/2 cup or more flour. Add to steak drippings in the reheated pan. Stir until light brown. Add 1/2 t salt and 1 t pepper. Pour enough milk into the pan stirring until the gravy starts to thicken and take shape. Lower heat. Place steaks back into the pan...cover with gravy and allow to simmer. Add additional milk if gravy gets too thick. Now, that's good eating.
Fresh Green Beans
3 pounds fresh green beans
Remove strings and ends from beans. Wash. Place into a saucepan with fist sized salt pork. Cover with water. Allow to boil on high then reduce heat. Check often. Add water only if needed. Do not let beans boil dry and stick. Cook an hour until beans are done. Uncover and let the beans boil almost dry. Add 2 T butter and 1 T sugar. Taste. Add salt only if needed.
