Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 oz cube steak, 4 steaks, 8 oz (225 g) each
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
2 large eggs
2 ¾ cups whole milk, divided
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided, plus 3 tablespoons
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 225˚F (110˚C).
  • Set a steak in the center of a cutting board and cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound the steak evenly to ¼-inch (½ cm) thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Repeat with the remaining meat.
  • In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and 1 cup (240 ml) of milk. In a separate shallow dish, mix together the 1 ½ cups (190 g) of flour, pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Dredge the steaks in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, letting any excess egg drip off. Coat again in the flour mixture. Set aside for 10-15 minutes, until the coating has dried out a bit.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a 10-inch (25.5 cm) pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Fry the steaks, 2 at a time, for 3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook on the other side for 3 minutes more, until golden brown and cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 155˚-165˚F (170˚-175˚C). Transfer the steaks to a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet and immediately season with salt. Once all of the steaks are done frying, transfer to the oven while you prepare the gravy.
  • Pour the hot oil into a heatproof bowl and let cool before discarding. 9. Leave any browned bits in the pan.
  • In the same pan, without wiping it out, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of flour, whisking to incorporate. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the roux is a light brown color. Add the heavy cream and remaining milk. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle the gravy over the steaks and serve with your favorite side dishes.
  • Enjoy!

COUNTRY FRIED STEAK WITH BUTTERMILK GRAVY



Country Fried Steak with Buttermilk Gravy image

This is real Southern comfort food. The buttermilk is an unsual ingredient in gravy but it tenderizes the steak and tastes wonderful. It took me a while before I would first try this recipe because of the buttermilk, but once I did, I was hooked. The gravy doesn't "look" good until the cheese is added but don't let this fool you. This is really a delicious dish and is one that after you have it started, can be left to cook on low with minimal attention.

COUNTRY FRIED STEAK WITH GRAVY

Provided by Virginia Willis

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups whole milk, at room temperature
2 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups canola oil, for frying
2 pounds round steak, tenderized and roughly cut into 5-inch squares (about 8 pieces)
Mashed potatoes, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk 1/2 cup of the milk and the eggs together in a bowl and set aside. Combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika and some salt and pepper in another bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Dip a cutlet into the egg wash, then in the seasoned flour. Return to the egg wash for a quick dip, then immediately add to the heated oil in the skillet. (Be careful, the oil will pop and sizzle.) Repeat without crowding the skillet. Cook until brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook an additional 3 minutes. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, moderating the heat to maintain medium-high heat.
  • Pour off all but 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cooking oil with the "drippings," the browned bits in the bottom of the skillet. On low heat, add 3 tablespoons of the leftover seasoned flour mixture to the oil and whisk to make a roux. Cook until golden, about 1 minute. Gradually add the remaining 1 1/2 cups milk to the flour mixture while whisking together. Let cook until thickened, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the cutlets with mashed potatoes and the gravy.

COUNTRY FRIED STEAKS WITH SWEET ONION GRAVY



Country Fried Steaks with Sweet Onion Gravy image

A simple recipe, but dressed up with a different, more flavorful, topping.

Provided by TerryWilson

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Beef     Steaks

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 ¼ teaspoons onion powder
1 ¼ teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 (4 ounce) beef cube steaks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 very large sweet onions (such as Vidalia®), thinly sliced
2 cups beef stock
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • In a shallow bowl, stir together the flour, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly mixed. Remove 1/3 cup of the flour mixture, and set aside. Gently press the cube steaks into the remaining flour mixture in the bowl until well coated on both sides.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the foam subsides on the butter. Gently pan-fry the steaks until the coating is browned, about 4 minutes per side. Turn only once. Remove the steaks to a platter.
  • Spread the onions out into the skillet with the remaining oil and butter, and cook over medium heat until the onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often. Sprinkle the reserved flour mixture over the onions; cook and stir for 1 more minute, then pour in the beef stock and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until the gravy is thickened. Scrape the pan well to dissolve any flavor bits left in the bottom. Return the browned steaks to the gravy mixture, then push them down into the gravy. Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the steaks are very tender, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
