Country Fried Steak Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Tenderize the beef round steak with a meat mallet until it's about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

2. 2

   Dredge the Steak

   Dip the steak in buttermilk, then dredge it in all-purpose flour, ensuring both sides are coated. Set aside.

3. 3

   Fry the Steak

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Make the Gravy

   In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 1/4 cup of the remaining flour to the oil. Stir to form a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth, then add gravy seasoning. Cook until thickened, stirring frequently.

5. 5

   Cook the Eggs

   In a separate pan, cook the eggs to your liking (sunny-side up, over-easy, etc.).

6. 6

   Prepare the Breakfast Potatoes

   Dice the potatoes and boil them in salted water until tender. Drain and pan-fry them in a little oil until crispy.

7. 7

   Serve

   Place the fried steak on a plate, smother with gravy, and top with the cooked eggs. Serve alongside the breakfast potatoes.
