The last couple of times I bought the minute steaks, this is the way I
fixed them, and were fork-tender. I bought six of them, and after
coating and browning them, I put them in a 9 x 13 inch baking pan, added
some sliced fresh mushrooms too. Covered and bake for 1-1/2 hours at
350º, but could probably cook them on a low heat too, but just didn't
want to bother keeping an eye on them.

I tried your minute steak cooking method today, Judy and it was a great
success. Thank you so much for telling me about the 'cover and bake' final
step. That did it. Polly
