Rice and Gravy Steaks Recipe

Rice and Gravy Steaks Recipe

Sometimes, you just want some simple, good ole Rice and Gravy! The fancy stuff is cute, but there are times when I just want to go back to my childhood taste buds. Parents challenge each other. Both my dad and mom make some delicious gravy steaks! It’s amazing what can be done with a cheap cut of meat and time. 

The market I shop at labels their steaks as “gravy steaks”, But, any inexpensive, thinly sliced steak will do. Eye of round, sirloin tip, shoulder something, get what you see. We can make it work.

Since these steaks aren’t that great in quality, they will need a little extra time to tenderize. So, that’s where the smothering comes in. Crank the heat down, throw a lid on, and let them simmer. After about an hour or so, they’ll be perfectly, fork tender.

I need this gravy to hold its own over that rice. This rice will never suck up my gravy! We want that thick, country gravy! 

Serve it with your choice of veggies and dinner is served!
