Swiss Steak - Aunt Jae

round or flank steak
1 large spoonful shortening
flour
water
bouillon
1 bay leaf

Cut meat into single serving size.  Start deep pan heating on medium and add shortening.  Put flour in a shallow dish and coat meat with it.  Place steak into shortening and sear on both sides,(this is so the meat won’t have a boiled taste)  Add about 4 cups of water.  Sprinkle generously with bouillon   Add bay leaf and onion (un-chopped).  Let water come to a boil and cook on medium for about 45 minutes.  Then turn down to simmer on low for about 2 – 3 hours.  You will know it’s done when the meat is tender enough to fall apart with a fork.  Remove onion and bay leaf.  Blend flour and water until all lumps are gone and add to pan to make gravy.
