Betty's Oven Baked Round Steak and Rich Gravy Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her traditional and popular Oven Baked Round Steak and Rich gravy recipe. I think you'll find it to be home style cooking at its best! Ingredients: 2 pounds round steak (I used eye of round steak in 6 equally-sized steaks.) meat tenderizer to taste 1 1/4 cups flour (in a zip lock bag) ground black pepper, to taste 1/2 cup peanut oil For gravy: pan drippings from baked round steak 1/2 cup flour 3 1/2 cups water (more or less as needed for proper consistency) salt, to taste Sprinkle meat tenderizer on top and bottom of each of the eye of round steaks. Place them two at a time in the 1 1/4 cups flour, which is in a zip lock bag. Shake the bag to coat the steaks. Heat 1/4 cup peanut oil in an iron (or other oven-proof) skillet on a cooktop. Do not let it smoke. When the oil is properly heated, place the flour-coated steaks one by one in the hot peanut oil. When the steaks brown on one side, turn them over, and keep shifting the 6 steaks in the skillet until all sides have been exposed to the hot oil. Now, remove the skillet from the cooktop, and place it toward the center of an oven that has been preheated to 400 degrees. Cook the steaks for 30 to 35 minutes, checking occasionally, and turning if they look brown on the bottom. When they look browned and done, remove the skillet from the oven and place it back on the cooktop.

Campfire Cooking and Recipes

Our family loves camping, and I mean in the traditional way with tents, sleeping bags, and sans electricity. No sissy RV trailers for us! This is a real shocker for anyone who knows me because I've always joked that my idea of roughing it is the Holiday Inn with no TV. Last year my husband and son invited me to go with them on their annual Halloween Cub Scout campout (they needed a cook) and I decided to take them up on it. Everyone - and I mean everyone - couldn't wait to see how I did roughing it in the great outdoors. Well, I had a blast and the guys said they had a lot of fun with me there; thus, a new wilderness mom has been born.

Naturally I embraced my new passion with enthusiasm and have been collecting a number of camping recipes and tips. Since this is time of year when families are making vacation plans and some of our subscribers will be going camping, I wanted to share some of my newly gleaned information with you.

Note: For those of you who are not camping this year but are still driving to their destinations, please read my ezine article entitled, "Road Trip Tips for Kids."

Pita Bread Pizza

1 package (6) Pita rounds

1 14 oz. jar prepared pizza sauce

Campfire Stew

1 pound hamburger

1 medium onion [optional]

2 cans mixed vegetables [don't drain]

1 bottle ketchup

In Dutch oven, brown hamburger with onions and then drain the fat. Return to fire/burner and add the remaining ingredients. Also, rinse your ketchup bottle with about 1/2 cup water and add. Let simmer for at least 30 minutes; but it is best to simmer for about an hour. If stew starts to become dry, just add a little water or more ketchup diluted with a little water for you ketchup lovers! Serve hot with warm bread or crackers. For added flavor, pour into your serving a little ketchup, steak sauce, Worcestershire, etc.

Cast Iron German Potato Salad

4 slices bacon

1 medium red onion, diced

1 pound red potatoes, precooked and cut in half

3 tbsp. white vinegar

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fry the slices of bacon in a cast iron skillet. When done, remove bacon with a slotted spoon and add onion to bacon drippings, cooking and stirring until onion is clear. Add potatoes and sear for 1 minute, cut side down, until brown and crisp. Remove from heat and pour the contents into a large mixing bowl, setting the skillet aside. Crumble the bacon and add to potatoes, along with the vinegar, salt and pepper, mixing thoroughly. Chill and serve.

Foil Pocket Dinner

A friend of mine told me about this type of campfire/grill foil cooking which I thought was really cool. In addition the following simple recipe, I found hundreds more at ChuckwagonDiner.com:

Hamburger or Chicken

Potatoes, sliced

Carrots, sliced

Worcestershire Sauce

Foil Bag

Hamburger shaped into a patty or piece of chicken, sliced potatoes, and carrots. Place in a foil bag and add Worcestershire sauce. Cook on coals or grill until tender. Serve with green salad and/or fresh fruit.

Ziplock Omelets

One serving:

2 eggs

1 ziploc bag

Extra ingredients: cheese, mushrooms, ham, onion, green peppers, tomatoes, etc.

First have each individual write their name on a quart-size ziploc freezer bag. Crack 2 eggs into the bag (not more than 2) and shake to combine them. Add whatever extra ingredients that person wants in their omelet and mix contents together well. Be sure to squeeze extra air out of the Ziploc bag. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed! Also makes a great conversation piece:)

Great Price CUISINOX PAN35 for $19.99

Cuisinox 14.5 x 11 x 2.5 Inch Rectangular Roaster Review



This pan is made of fairly heavy gauge stainless steel, so it bends very little when hot. It's pretty big and deep to hold it's contents and resulting juices. It has convenient handles and a nice edge all around to tuck an aluminum foil covering. I prefer enamel pans for cooking and ease of cleaning, but this is an excellent value. It did come with one of those nuisance stickers on the bottom of the pan. You'll have to soak it in hot water or scrub it off with citrasolv or alcohol.



Cuisinox 14.5 x 11 x 2.5 Inch Rectangular Roaster Feature


  • 18/10 Stainless steel
  • 14½ x 11 x 2½ inches
  • Rack NOT AVAIL.
  • Dishwasher safe

This roaster is not as nice as the OvenStuff non stick one! - A Research It Maven - USA
Just compare the features and price of this Cuisinox roaster (CHINA) to the nicer 17" non stick OvenStuff roaster for .99! (which is made the USA!). The whole OvenStuff line of cookware is fabulous - be sure to check it out!
