Poor Mans Steak

I am very lucky to have awesome in laws that have raised their own cattle to eat. We are always getting free ground beef, steaks, roasts, etc. I already forget the name of the steak, I think it's called cubbed steak. Which I don't understand because its not cubbed. It's like thin slices of steak. Anyways, it's good...that's all that matters, right?! Poor Man's Steak is so good, probably not the healthiest, but good! I always serve it with a side of pea risotto.

What you will need is:
A lb or so of cubbed steak, or thin steak
Flour and olive oil
An onion and bell pepper
Water
Salt and pepper

First things first is that you will need to slice the meat into little bites. My mother in law made it once with a nice portion of meat instead of bite size. Whatever floats your boat.
You will need to heat oil in a skillet and dredge the meat in flour. Once the meat is covered in flour, you will need to brown the meat. Next the onion and bell pepper needs to be cut in slices. In a casserole dish, you will combine the meat and vegetables with one cup of water and season the mixture with salt and pepper. Have your oven set to 400 and bake your meat mixture for about an onion until the vegetables are soft and the liquid has thickened. Halfway through I mixed the meat up and put it back in the oven.

The reason why I am being so vague with the directions is because cooking is not like a coloring book. In school you were taught to color within the lines. In cooking, if you color outside the lines, you can come up with something amazing. In this recipe you can add different seasonings to make if spicy, or add different vegetables. Maybe throw a little bourbon in it???
