Directions:
Directions:
Cut beef into serving pieces. Mix flour, salt and pepper together. Coat beef with flour mixture and pound with a meat tenderizer or the rim of a salad plate until the flour is pounded in. Melt Crisco in an iron skillet and fry the steak, turning to brown each side. Add more Crisco if you have several batches to fry. Put fried steak into a Dutch oven and set aside. Then make gravy, adding flour to the grease that was left in the skillet, making a paste. Stir until browned. Add water and cook, making sure to incorporate the brown bits from frying the meat (which gives the gravy such a good flavor). Then add the mushroom soup and can of water to make a thin gravy. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the gravy over the meat and cover. Bake at 350º for about 1½ - 2 hours, adding water if necessary, so it doesn’t get too thick. Serve with mashed potatoes.
