The key to this recipe is using a mixture of flour, salt, and pepper to coat the steak before cooking it. This gives the steak a nice flavor and helps it cook evenly. I love serving this recipe with my favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy.

The kids always devour it, and it’s a great way to get them to eat their veggies. Plus, it’s so easy to make – just brown the steak in a pan and serve. It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.

As for the health benefits of this recipe, I’m happy to say that it’s relatively low in calories and fat compared to other meat dishes. The flour coating adds a bit of carbs, but overall it’s a pretty balanced meal. Plus, you can always serve it with some steamed veggies on the side to add more nutrients.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do! It’s one of our go-to meals when we’re short on time or want something comforting.
