  • Salt and pepper the cube steak on both sides.  In a large shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne and black pepper.  In a medium shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and hot sauce.
  • Dredge the cube steaks in the flour mixture, and shake off the excess flour. then dip into the egg mixture and back in the flour mixture. Refrigerate in a single layer on a  baking sheet for 20 minutes.
  • Heat about 1/4 inch vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Fry the cube steaks until golden brown, turning once to brown the other side. Work in batches.  Move the fried cube steaks to paper towels to drain for a couple of minutes.  Move to a clean baking sheet and place in the oven at 225 degrees.
  • Drain all but 4 tablespoons of the oil from the skillet.  Do not remove the browned bits from the skillet. Over medium-low heat, sprinkle the flour over the oil.  Cook for 2 minutes, whisking constantly.  Slowly add the milk while whisking.  Continue whisking until smooth and creamy. Simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Serve the warm gravy over the crispy fried steaks.
