Sailsbury Steak
Ingredients
4 cubed steaks
1 heaping tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 onion, sliced
2 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons butter
2 heaping tablespoons cream of something mix
1 tablespoon beef better than boulion
2 cups water
Directions
Mix the flour, seasoned salt, and paprika in a flat dish. Dredge the steaks in the flour mixture. Saute on medium high for about 3 minutes per side. This should be done in batches. When finished, add each steak to a 9x9 baking dish. Saute the onions in 2 tablespoons oil for 5-7 minutes, or until translucent. Add the onions to the baking dish.
Add the butter to the saute pan. When the butter is melted, add the leftover dredging flour and the cream of something mix, stir to combine. Add the better than boulion and the water, heat to boiling. When the mixture is boiling, it will thicken.
Once the mixture is thick, pour it over the steaks and onions in the baking dish. Cover and bake for approximately 2 hours at 350°. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.

Well, the root veggie soup was a total bust, and it cost me over $22. Bad decision. I need to remember not to make huge batches of expensive dishes if I'm not sure we'll like them. I don't know why I thought it would be a good idea in the first place. I did buy chicken and medicine this week which accounted for $27. I also didn't actually need the whole wheat flour yet. I do, however, need wheat gluten. The Panera soup was a bit of a splurge but I did have a $2 off coupon so $7 for 3 lunch servings isn't so bad-- almost the same as buying soup at the Cafe, but it actually tastes good.
