Type of Dish : Today's Native Dishes

Note: that deer or beef steak can be used, this is a layered dish so use amounts that work out for the amount of layers that are needed.

Preparation:

Using a hot cast iron frying pan, place steaks in it and quickly fry on each side, 30 second to one minute.
When they are all cooked place a layer of bacon on the bottom of a Dutch oven or a heavy baking kettle, then a layer of raw onion rings, then a layer or steak.

Continue until you end with a layer of onions. Bake on a oven at 375 until well done, approx. 60 - 75 minutes.
Serve hot with lots of fried bread or white bread to soak up the wonderful juices and grease.

This is also wonderful to make and chill and take with you on a hunting or fishing trip to the mountains with white bread and salt for sandwiches!!!
