COUNTRY-FRIED STEAKS



Country-Fried Steaks image

This down-home recipe reminds me of my mother, who was raised in the South. It calls for cube steak instead of round steak, so there's no need to pound the meat. I just dip and coat the beef, then cook it in my cast-iron skillet. -Bonnie Malloy, Norwood, Pennsylvania

COUNTRY-FRIED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS AND GRAVY RECIPE BY TASTY



Country-Fried Cauliflower Steaks And Gravy Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: cauliflower, salt, unsalted butter, medium shallot, garlic, cremini mushroom, fresh sage, fresh thyme, all-purpose flour, whole milk, freshly ground black pepper, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, large eggs, canola oil, fresh parsley

Provided by Alix Traeger

Categories     Dinner

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 lb cauliflower
5 teaspoons salt, divided, plus more to taste
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 oz medium shallot, minced
3 teaspoons garlic, minced
8 oz cremini mushroom, including stems, trimmed and minced
1 tablespoon fresh sage, minced
3 large sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only
2 cups all-purpose flour, divided, plus 3 tablespoons
2 ½ cups whole milk, divided
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons paprika
3 large eggs, beaten
canola oil, for frying
fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem so the cauliflower can sit upright on a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the cauliflower into 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick slabs. Reserve any florets that fall off as you are cutting. You should get 3 to 4 "steaks."
  • Fill a large, shallow pan with 1½-2 inches (4-5 cm) of water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons salt. Working in batches, gently lower cauliflower steaks into the water. They should be just barely submerged. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the stems can be pierced easily with a fork but are still slightly firm. Transfer the steaks to paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining steaks. Cook reserved florets for 2-3 minutes, until pierced easily with a fork.
  • Drain cooking water from the pan and wipe dry. Melt the butter in the same pan over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, sage, thyme, and 1 teaspoon of salt and cook until the mushrooms begin to release their juices and brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in 3 tablespoons flour, mixing well to coat the mushrooms. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the flour just starts to brown.
  • Pour in 2 cups (480 ml) milk and stir well to incorporate. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
  • In a shallow dish, mix together the remaining flour, the cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and 2 teaspoons salt.
  • In a separate shallow dish, whisk to combine the eggs with the remaining milk.
  • Working in batches, dip the cauliflower steaks and florets in the flour mixture, turning to coat completely. Dip in the egg mixture, letting any excess egg drip off. Dredge once more in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour or clumps.
  • Heat 1½ inches (3 cm) of canola oil in a large, high-sided pan until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 325˚F (160˚C).
  • Working in batches, carefully lower 1-2 cauliflower steaks at a time into the hot oil. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until deep golden brown. Transfer to paper towels to drain and repeat with the remaining cauliflower steaks and florets.
  • Pour the gravy over the cauliflower steaks and garnish with parsley and black pepper. Serve the florets with gravy in a small bowl, for dipping.
  • Enjoy!

CAJUN STYLE COUNTRY FRIED PORK STEAKS

I got tired of the "same ole' country fried steak, and was looking through a TOH "country cooking" and found one that was contributed by Toni Holcomb. I changed a few things and here are the results. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your own tastes. I served this with mashed potatoes and green beans. The nutrition amounts include the total amounts of flour and milk mixture--you might not use all of the flour mixture to bread the meat and you might not use all the gravy.
