Steak and Gravy

Grandson Lucas told Belle that he wanted steak and gravy for lunch today, and as that was the only request, Belle honored it.


Round steak, seasoned with salt and pepper then cooked overnight in brown gravy mix.  It was fork-tender, served over rice, with creamed corn and yeast rolls on the side.  Belle also made a peach cobbler for dessert served with or without ice cream as you please.

During the peach cobbler phase of the operation, I introduced Lucas to a beverage called a root beer  float.  He considered that an interesting combination of two of his perennial favorites.

The kids have gone home now, the dishes are washed, and we're settling in for the remainder of Sunday afternoon.  I hear thunnder off to the northeast.

Root beer floats were the best part of going to the doctor. A&W was on the way home and we always stop. A small float for everyone in the car, usually just you and Mom.

Yum, that brings back some memories...

Funny how A&W store root beer was fantastic but the cans and bottles... they just weren't the same.

We just made swiss steak in a pressure cooker that was pretty good. I wonder if a steak and gravy could be made that way too, or if its oven/crock pot only.
