Round Steak (posted by the "Real Chef")

This is one of my favorite recipes my Mom always made for me. Anything fried in Crisco has to be good. My mom served it with mashed potatoes and corn.

Round Steak
1 lb of 1/2 inch thick top round steak
2 Tbl of shortening

Cut the meat into serving pieces and remove as much fat as possible. Using a meat mallet pound the meat and dredge in flour, salt, and pepper. Heat shortening in an electric skillet and add the floured meat. Brown the meat on both sides, then reduce heat and cover. Allow meat to cook for 30 minutes, then place on a paper towel to soak up the extra grease.

Buttered Baby Carrots
1/2 lb of baby carrots
Olive Oil
Garlic (minced)
Parsley (finely chopped)
Kosher Salt

Coat the carrots in olive oil and place in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Allow to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add however much garlic and salt you prefer and cook until the carrots are tender. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Oven Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
1/2 lb of fingerling potatoes
1/2 yellow onion (roughly chopped)
Olive Oil
Kosher Salt
Black Pepper

Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees. Cut the potatoes into bite size pieces and coat in olive oil and salt. Place on a large stone pan with the onion and roast for 30-40 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
