Round steak, 6 serving pieces
1/2 c. shortening
Flour
Salt & pepper

Pound steak to make tender. Put flour on wax paper. Sprinkle salt and black pepper lightly on both sides of each piece. Coat steak with the flour.

Melt shortening in a large skillet. When shortening is melted but not hot, put a few pieces of steak in the skillet. Cook the rest after the first pieces are done. Cook on medium heat uncovered on both sides for about 10 minutes or until brown. Take out of skillet and drain on paper towel on a plate.

Use the liquid from cooking the steak, about 1/3 cup. Put salt, pepper and flour in the skillet and cook on medium high heat, stirring constantly until flour is brown, not real dark. Pour in the milk and cook until thick. Serves 5.
