Steps:
- Cut meat into 6-8 large sized pieces (meat will shrink).

- In a 12 inch skillet heat the vegetable oil until medium hot over medium high heat.
- Dredge meat in the flour mixture well on both sides.

- Turn the heat down to medium low.
- Pour the mushrooms and liquid over the meat.
- Top the mushrooms with the sliced onions.
- Cover and simmer 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the meat is tender.
- NOTE**** add water 1/2 cup at a time about every 15 minutes to keep the meat cooking with moist heat.
- When meat is tender turn off heat and remove meat from pan.
- Add 3-3 1/2 cups of cold water to the remaining flour which wasn't using with dredging.
- Stir well to remove lumps.
- Slowly add to the drippings in the pan.
- Stir constantly over medium heat until thickened.
- If gravy is too thick add more water-- if too thin add more flour mixed with cold water.
- Taste and add more salt, pepper/and or beef flavoring as desired.
- Turn heat down to low and gently slide the meat back into the gravy.
- Heat until the meat is hot again and serve.
- Great with mashed potatoes or steamed rice.
- OPTIONAL Hint: I often add a couple teaspoons of Kitchen Bouquet to the finished gravy to give it more color. I decided I should add a note about this in case others would like this helpful hint.
