Description
A classic Southern dish featuring tenderized beef coated in a crispy breading and smothered in creamy gravy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (4-ounce) cube steaks
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C) to keep the cooked steaks warm.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together 1 cup of flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.
- Dredge each cube steak in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat again in the flour mixture. Press the flour onto the steak to adhere well.
- In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Fry the steaks in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Keep the cooked steaks warm in the preheated oven while you make the gravy.
- In the same skillet, pour off excess oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Sprinkle in 1/4 cup of flour and whisk to make a roux, cooking for about 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, cooking until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the chicken fried steak hot, smothered in gravy.
