Country Fried Steak

You can't get much more country than Country Fried Steak, crispy fried beef and creamy gravy..you really cant go wrong! 

Ingredients:

  • 1  cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • About 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1 tbsp Goya, adobo
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Package of cube steak
  • salt and pepper
  • oil for frying, about 1/2 cup or so

Directions:

  1. Set up an assembly line to bread your steaks. Mix Milk and eggs in one bowl, flour and seasonings (except salt and pepper) in another bowl. Season meat with salt and pepper and set up an empty plate or cutting board to place breaded meat on before frying.
  2. To bread the steaks coat in flour, then egg and then flour mix again.
  3. Heat oil in frying pan on a medium heat, you will know its hot enough when you can sprinkle flour into the pan and it sizzles.
  4. Don't try to fry all the meat at once, I recommend two pieces at a time so they cook evenly. Once edges of meat are browned, flip. Remove from pan when crisp and drain on paper towel or wire rack. Repeat until all meat is cooked. 
  5. Pour out grease but do not wash pan, prepare gravy:

Gravy

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup oil from frying the meat
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 to 4 cups whole milk
  • salt and pepper

Directions:

  1. Add the 1/4 cup of grease back to the pan and heat on medium heat until hot.
  2. Add flour to grease and whisk until it looks like a brown paste (this is the roux),  whisk several minutes to cook out the flour taste.
  3. Pour in the milk and whisk constantly until gravy is smooth
  4. Add salt and pepper to taste.
**when making gravy you may need to use more or less milk, you have to play it by ear.
