Steak and gravy or, more commonly called around here, rice and gravy, reduces the meat to a supporting role to the locally grown rice and gravy. But don't be fooled, the meat creates the real flavor. This is a hearty meal that will cause you to loosen your belt one notch and will arouse a drowsy, satisfied feeling send you to the nearest comfortable chair for a nap after eating.
Tricia simply seasons the steak, searing it on both sides in a cast iron dutch oven. Once that's done, she adds enough water to cover, along with onions garlic, celery and bell pepper and allows it to simmer for a couple of hours. Then she adds cut up carrots, green beans, and potatoes. In a separate pot, she makes a roux with beef tallow and 1/3 cup flour and stirs that into the pot and cooks it for another hour and a half. At that point it's time to return thanks to the Good Lord for His provision and serve up a heaping pile of rice and top it with the thick, brown, tasty gravy and pieces of tender meat. A meal fit for a king - King of the Recliner, that is.
I hate to be redundant, but here's another picture, so I can at least feast my eyes on it again.

The Seven Steak. Many people attribute the Number 7 as providing good luck. I don't believe in luck. I believe in blessing. In the Bible, the number 7 is the number of completeness and perfection. I learned HERE that:
- The word seven is used 745 times in the Bible,
- According to Jewish tradition, the creation of Adam was on October 7, 3761 BC.
- There are seven days in the week and God's Sabbath is on the seventh day,
- The Bible is divided into 7 major divisions: the Law, the Prophets, the Psalms, the Gospels and Acts, the General Epistles, the Epistles of Paul and the book of Revelation.
