1 lb round steak
several potatos
3 or 4 carrots
1 large onion
salt & pepper
butter or margarine

Cut 1 lb of top round steak into strips. Season meat with salt and pepper and brown well, turning gently so as not to disturb the brownnes on the bottom of the pan. While browning, slice a large onion and separate into half rings. Clean carrots and slice into strips. Peel and quarter potatoes and slice into thin slices.

When meat is brown, turn to simmer and add 1 and 1/2 cups water. Layer onions, carrots, then potatoes over meat. Salt and pepper potatoes. Dot with butter. Cover and simmer approx. 30 minutes. Then gently flip all ingredients to the potatoes are in the brown sauce on bottom, and the meat is on top. Cook another 15-20 minutes. Water shoud not go dry until the very end.
