This braised flank steak is one of my mother's best recipes from my childhood. Flank steak was cheap back then, so feel free to substitute chuck steak or flap meat. The ingredients are simple but very flavorful. It's excellent with buttered noodles or white beans, plus a green vegetable such as broccoli or asparagus.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 beef flank steak , 1 1/2 pound
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 can chicken broth , 13.75 ounce
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 3 whole cloves
Instructions
-
1
Mix flour and garlic powder together in a shallow dish. Season with salt and pepper. Dip steak into the flour mixture evenly coating both sides. Discard remaining flour mixture.

Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place steak into the skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Stir in chicken broth, lemon juice, garlic, and cloves. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer until steak is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

To serve, remove steak from the skillet and slice across the grain into thin strips. Place on serving plates and ladle sauce over top.

15-Year-Old Pesto Sauce
I first tried pesto in a restaurant about 15 years ago and asked the chef what was in it. I love keeping my own jar of this on hand as it yields enough for a pound of pasta and is wonderful drizzled over tomatoes, boiled potatoes, or Italian bread.
Lemon Cloud Pie II
This is a great pie, and a little different to our usual lemon meringue.
Chinese Style Stuffed Mushrooms
These mushrooms with pork hash stuffing are great as an appetizer or even as a side dish. The amount of mushrooms you have on hand can dictate the amount of stuffing that goes with them.
