FRICASSEE OF BEEF

Select a 2-1/2 lb. round steak cut about 2" thick. Cut into pieces large enough for individual servings or leave in one large piece. Brown the meat in a little fat. Remove meat and make gravy by browning 6 tbsp flour in 3 tbsp fat and adding 2 cups hot milk. Stir until smooth and rather thick. Put the meat in the gravy (gravy should cover meat) and bake in a moderate oven 325* about 2-1/2 hours or until meat is tender. The meat should be covered the first hour, then cover can be removed for the rest of the cooking period. Remove meat to a platter, add a little milk and stir until gravy is smooth.
