2 lbs. round steak, tenderized
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/2 cup melted shortening

Cut meat into four pieces, Pound the meat until tender. Mix flour, salt and pepper together in a pie pan; dredge steak in mixture. Cook in hot melted shortening over medium-high heat until brown, turn and brown on the other side. The quicker the meat cooks the juicier it stays. Don't overcook steak. Make the gravy in the next recipe for the steak.

Variation: Some people prefer to beat 1 egg with 1 T water and dip meat in egg prior to dredging in flour.

Hint: Add 1/2 tsp baking powder to flour for fluffy crust on meat also.
