Steak

Pepper Gravy

Method

Preparation of Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Season the beef cube steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading Station

    In a shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour. In another dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

  3. 3

    Dredge the Steaks

    Dip each steak first in the flour, coating it well, then in the egg mixture, and finally back in the flour, ensuring a good coating.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  2. 5

    Fry the Steaks

    Carefully add the coated steaks to the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the steaks and let them drain on paper towels.

Preparation of Pepper Gravy

  1. 6

    Make the Gravy

    In the same skillet used for frying the steaks, leave about 1 cup of drippings. Sprinkle the flour over the drippings and whisk to combine, cooking for about 1 minute.

  2. 7

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue whisking until the gravy thickens.

  3. 8

    Season the Gravy

    Add black pepper and salt to taste, adjusting based on your preference. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve the Dish

    Serve the fried steak hot with a generous pour of pepper gravy over the top. Enjoy with your favorite sides.
