Its a novel idea

Smothered Round Steak (and don't say its not cajun)
1. cut up round steak into 2-3 inch pieces, season heavily with Tony's and sprinkle with vinegar
2. coat meat with flour (I usually put all the meat in a big tupperware and just shake it around with the flour in it)
3. heat up a black iron skillet (big enough to fit all the meat in one layer) VERY HOT with 2 tablespoons of oil
4. once the oil it hot add 2-3 tablespoons of sugar to the oil, let it turn a deep brown or black
5. carefully place meat in one piece at at time, flip pieces after they BURN - you want them black or very dark brown, let them get dark brown on the other side too.
6. then once they are all brown, pour 2 tablespoons of vinegar over the meat, let it sizzle then add a cup of water and 2 beef boullion cubes.
7. stir well, get the flour and sugar that's stuck to the bottom of the pan unstuck, then add more water to cover the meat.
8. add one chopped onion and 4 toes of chopped garlic
9. simmer for 2 hours, stirring every 15 min, 1/2 hour before done add 8 oz chopped mushrooms and half of an onion cut in strips
Serve with rice, corn and cantelope
