Smothered Steak

These are so good. Serve them with mashed potatoes, rice, or risotto.

1 lb cube steak (about 4-6 pieces)

1/2 c butter

2 medium onions, sliced and separated into rings

4 oz sliced mushrooms

4 Tbsp all purpose flour

2 cans (10 1/2 oz) beef consommé*

1 c white wine

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

Melt 1/4 cup of butter in pan over medium high heat. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper and brown in butter. Remove from pan and set aside.

Add mushroom and onion to pan drippings and cook until tender.

Add remaining butter to pan to melt. Sprinkle flour over onion and mushrooms; stir well.

Gradually add consommé and wine. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly.

Place steaks in onion mixture; cover and simmer over low heat for 20-30 minutes or until steaks are tender.

*I used beef stock and two tubes of Swanson Flavor Boost (beef). It is a concentrated broth, adding lots of flavor.
