Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 lb cube steaks (( pre-tenderized))
- salt & pepper ((to taste))
- 2 large eggs ((beaten) )
- ½ cup milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Kosher salt ((for the breading))
- 1 tsp ground black pepper ((for the breading))
- 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp cayenne
- canola oil ((or peanut, or olive oil- enough for frying))
- 2 cups country gravy ((see recipe))
Instruction
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C) and place a baking dish with a wire rack inside on the center rack. (You will use this to keep the chicken fried cube steak warm as you make gravy). Season your steaks generously on both sides with salt & pepper.
- Set up a dredging station with two shallow dishes. In the first dish you will whisk together the eggs and milk. In the second dish whisk together the flour and seasonings (kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper).
- Dredge each steak by placing it first in the flour mixture, using the palm of your hand to press down firmly on each side so the flour sticks to the meat. Then, dip the flour-coated steak into the egg mixture (or egg wash), making sure to submerge both sides. Gently shake off any excess egg wash. Then press it firmly into the flour mixture on both sides once more. Continue until all steaks are coated.
- Add oil to a frying pan, enough to cover the bottom of the pan ¼-inch deep. Heat to medium-high heat (*see note). One at a time, place a prepared steak into the frying pan. Fry for bout 2 minutes, or until you see the edges begin to turn golden-brown. Flip and fry for another 2 minutes on the opposite side.
- After the steak is golden brown, let any excess oil drip off as you remove it from the pan. Then, set it on the wire rack in the warm oven until you are done making the remaining steaks and and gravy. Repeat with each steak. Once all steaks are fried, top each one with country gravy and serve right away.
