Serving Size

Serves 100 – perfect for large gatherings!

Ingredients

For the steak

100 portions of beef cube steak
2 quarts of flour (for dredging)
2 tablespoons of seasoned salt
1 teaspoon of dried thyme
1 teaspoon of dried marjoram
1 teaspoon of dried basil
1 quart of chopped onions

For the gravy

Meat drippings from cooked steak
Beef roux (for thickening a gallon of gravy)

Instructions

Brown the Steak: Grill the steak over medium-high heat until both sides are nicely browned.
Arrange the Steaks: Place the browned steaks in a large baking pan, overlapping them slightly for even cooking.

🔥 Tip: Keep the heat moderate to prevent the meat from cooking too quickly, which can lead to dryness.

Make the Gravy: Combine your meat drippings and beef roux to create a rich gravy. Cook it until it reaches a consistency similar to honey.
Season the Gravy: Stir in the seasoned salt, thyme, marjoram, and basil. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

🌟 Flavor Boost: Consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of black pepper for an extra depth of flavor!

Pour and Layer: Pour the gravy over the arranged steaks and top it off with the chopped onions.
Cover and Bake: Seal the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 2 hours.

⏰ Make Ahead: You can prepare everything in advance, cover it, and refrigerate. Just increase the baking time to ensure it's heated through!

Serving Suggestions

Pair it with mashed potatoes, rice, or a crusty bread to soak up all that delicious gravy.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. 🥗🥔

Variations

Slow Cooker Version: You can also adapt this dish for a slow cooker! Brown the steak and transfer it to the slow cooker with gravy and onions. Cook on low for 6-8 hours until tender.
Spicy Kick: For a spicy variation, add some diced bell peppers or jalapeños to the onion mixture before baking.
Vegetarian Option: Substitute the steak for portobello mushrooms or a robust vegetable stew for a hearty vegetarian meal.

Enjoy making this classic dish that brings everyone together at the table! 🥄💖
