Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup long-grain white rice
2 large eggs
1 cup plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon paprika
4 minute steaks (each about 2 ounces and 1/4 inch thick)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 small onion, diced
3/4 pound green beans, trimmed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Cook rice according to package instructions; cover, and set aside. In a wide, shallow bowl, beat eggs; in another, combine 1 cup flour with paprika. Season eggs, flour mixture, and steaks with salt and pepper. Dredge each steak in flour, then dip in egg; allow excess to drip off, then dredge in flour again.
  • In a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium-high. Cook steaks in skillet until crust is golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet, and place in oven to keep warm.
  • Pour off all but 1 tablespoon oil from skillet. Add remaining teaspoon flour; cook, whisking until golden, about 30 seconds. Gradually add milk while whisking; raise heat to high, and boil until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Season gravy with salt and pepper. Cover, and set aside.
  • In a medium skillet, heat remaining teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add green beans and 1/3 cup water; cover, and cook until green beans are bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Uncover; continue to cook until green beans are crisp-tender and onion begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes more. Reheat gravy, thinning with milk if necessary. Serve steak with green beans, rice, and gravy.

QUICK COUNTRY-FRIED STEAK



Quick Country-Fried Steak image

That delicious old-country taste right at home. Always a big hit. Whip up some mashed potatoes and even some peas and carrots and you've got a whole meal ready to go! Amount of left-over mixture depends on how evenly and how thoroughly you coat each steak. Tweaking and experimenting will be required to nail down a better proportion ratio so that there is less mix left over.

COUNTRY-FRIED STEAKS

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality cuts of meat for your country-fried steak. Look for tender cuts like sirloin or cube steak.
  • Tenderize the meat before cooking to make it extra tender. You can do this by pounding it with a meat mallet or marinating it in a mixture of milk and eggs.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to cook your country-fried steak. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside moist and juicy.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the steak. This will cause the steak to steam instead of fry, resulting in a soggy crust.
  • Cook the steak over medium-high heat until it is golden brown on both sides. This will take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the country-fried steak immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, or rice.

Conclusion:

Country-fried steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a country-fried steak that is crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give country-fried steak a try!
