Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Mix salt and pepper with flour. Pound as much flour mixture as possible into meat, using tenderizing mallet. Cut into serving pieces. Brown quickly on both sides in heated shortening. Add onions. Sprinkle Maggi Sauce over all. Cover and bake in preheated 325 oven 1 to 1½ hours or until tender. (If pan is not oven-proof, transfer to casserole for baking.) If meat seems to be drying out on bottom, add small amount of water or bouillon.
