Some of my old Southern favorites needed a little Primal makeover. . .

2 lbs grass fed round steak (bone in best)
2 tbs tallow, lard or butter
2 small onions, sliced
1/2 lb mushrooms, sliced
1 to 1  1/4 cups beef broth
1 1/2 tsp arrowroot
2 tsp cold water
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 head cauliflower, steamed and mashed

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.  Pound round steak until flattened.  Sprinkle to taste with sea salt and pepper.  Heat tallow, lard or butter in skillet over med to med high heat.  Brown meat on both sides and remove from skillet.  Add onions and mushrooms and cook until softened and onions slightly browned.  Return meat to skillet, add broth; cover and cook in oven approximately 1 1/2 hours or until meat is tender.

Remove meat and vegetables from pan and keep warm.  Return skillet to stove top and cook over medium heat.  Add cold water to arrowroot and stir until smooth.  Add mixture to pan drippings and cook until slightly thickened and bubbly.  Voila`, gravy!

To serve, pour gravy over mashed cauliflower and enjoy with the steak!
