- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the Gravy
- 2 tablespoons pan drippings
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 ½ cups milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Steaks
- Place steaks on a board. Pat them dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick better while frying.
Season the Flour
- In a bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder. Stir well so flavors spread evenly.
Make Egg Mixture
- In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. This mixture helps the flour stick to the steak.
Coat the Steaks
- Dip each steak into flour first. Then dip into egg mixture. Coat again with flour. Press gently for even coating.
Heat the Oil
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Oil should be hot but not smoking before frying.
Fry the Steaks
- Carefully place steaks in hot oil. Fry each side for four minutes until golden and crispy.
Drain the Steaks
- Remove steaks from skillet. Place them on paper towels. Let extra oil drain while you make gravy.
Start the Gravy
- Leave two tablespoons drippings in skillet. Add flour. Whisk constantly over medium heat until lightly golden.
Add the Milk
- Slowly pour milk into skillet. Whisk nonstop to avoid lumps. Cook until gravy thickens nicely.
Season the Gravy
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir well. The gravy should look smooth and creamy.
Serve Hot
- Place steaks on plates. Spoon warm gravy on top. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use cube steak for tender results.
- Keep oil at medium heat.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet.
- Whisk gravy constantly.
- Serve right after cooking.
