Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the flour into a pie pan. Dredge the pieces of meat on both sides in the flour. Tenderize the meat, using a needling device, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick. Dredge in the flour again and set aside.
- Add enough of the vegetable oil or bacon fat to just cover the bottom of a 4 to 5-quart Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a plate and repeat until all of the steaks have been browned.
- Remove the last steaks from the pot and add the chicken broth and thyme and whisk until the liquid just comes to a boil. Return the steaks to the pot and make sure they are all submerged in the liquid. Cover the pot and place it in the oven on the middle rack. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender and falling apart.
COUNTRY-STYLE STEAK
Mmmm...mmm... This is the recipe that my momma passed down to me. Born and raised in the South, and my momma was raised on a farm, so my family knows a lot about southern cookin'. With this recipe, don't be shy to add other spices to it. This goes great with mashed potatoes, green beans and sweet tea. You can use the gravy from the steak for the mashed potatoes.

MAW MAW'S COUNTRY-STYLE STEAK
Putting this one aside for when real meat-and-potatoes buddies roll on through... in cold weather. I like having a few slow cooker recipes up my sleeve & this one fills the bill nicely. Use tough cuts of meat & tenderize yourself or have your butcher tenderize them (they can do it fast - I prefer their method). Serve with mashed taters, collards & buttery fresh dinner rolls & dinner's done! Adapted from Beverly Mills and Alicia Ross' Desperation Dinners via (of all places) the Miami Herald.

COUNTRY-FRIED STEAKS
This down-home recipe reminds me of my mother, who was raised in the South. It calls for cube steak instead of round steak, so there's no need to pound the meat. I just dip and coat the beef, then cook it in my cast-iron skillet. -Bonnie Malloy, Norwood, Pennsylvania

COUNTRY-STYLE STEAK
Steps:
- Place the steak in a casserole dish and generously sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce. Cover and marinate overnight. Remove from the marinade and sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dip the steak in flour and shake. Heat the oil and quickly fry the steak until brown, but do not cook the inside too much. This is done by cooking both sides on high heat, turning quickly, and then reducing heat to low to finish cooking.
- Boil 1/2 cup minced onion in another pot with 1/4 cup of the water for about 5 minutes. When finished cooking as many steaks as desired, leave about 3 tablespoons browned crumbs (not burned) and drippings from steak in skillet. Add onion and 3 tablespoons flour. Stir until slightly browned. Slowly pour in the remaining 3 cups hot water as it thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The gravy may be served over rice or steaks.
EASY COUNTRY STYLE STEAK
Perfect for when you need something easy that the kids will love. My kids would beg for this with rice or potatoes and, of course, bread to soak up the gravy. Certainly may use sliced onions rather than chopped.Note: After some of the reviews I realized that even though it is quick to put together the cooking does take some time so I have changed the title.
