I found this among the recipes, it’s in my awful handwriting, so I assume I gave it to Mum somewhere along the way. I’ve been making it for years and still make it, but I use less meat now as I’m no longer feeding a family of five. It’s easy and the gravy is really does taste great.

STEAK WITH RICH GRAVY

• 1-1.25kg round steak
  
• 1 pkt French Onion Soup
  
• ¼ cup water
  
• 420g can mushroom soup
  

Cut the meat into serving pieces. Place in casserole, add dry soup, mix water and soup together and pour over. Mix well. Cook 1½ hrs at 180º.
