Cooking

Gravy

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the meat

    Tenderize the cube steak using a meat mallet until it's about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Breading

  1. 2

    Set up breading stations

    In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

  2. 3

    Bread the meat

    Dredge each piece of steak first in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat in the flour mixture again. Ensure each piece is well coated.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  2. 5

    Fry the steak

    Carefully place the breaded steak in the hot oil, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

Gravy

  1. 6

    Make the gravy

    In the same skillet used for frying, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes until golden.

  2. 7

    Add milk

    Slowly whisk in the milk, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Continue to whisk until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 8

    Season the gravy

    Season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot over the fried steak.
