Steak Strips & Gravy over Rice

Get rice cooking.
Take a steak or roast and cut it into strips like for stir fry. Then pan fry them with some pepper and salt on high heat. You just want to get the meat sealed and some nice color.
When this is done, remove the meat from the pan and set aside. Add some butter and flour to the pan. Brown the flour. Take a container and put some more flour in it and some cold water. Stir. Add this to the pan. Add more water as needed to get the thickness of gravy. Add salt & pepper to taste.
The amount of flour and water you need will depend on how much gravy you want.
Put the meat back in the pan and simmer until meat is tender.
Serve over the rice.

I cook for a family of 6 and rarely use a measuring cup. So I can't tell you exactly how much flour & water I use to make gravy.
