Steak or Chicken

Sausage Gravy

Method

Preparing the Steak or Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow bowl, mix flour, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs with milk.

  2. 2

    Bread the Meat

    Dredge the country fried steak or crispy chicken in the flour mixture, dip it in the egg mixture, and then dredge it again in the flour mixture to ensure a thick coating.

  3. 3

    Fry the Meat

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

Making the Sausage Gravy

  1. 4

    Cook the Sausage

    In a separate skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked.

  2. 5

    Make the Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Milk and Season

    Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens. Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.

Cooking the Hashbrowns or Tater Barrels

  1. 7

    Fry the Hashbrowns or Tater Barrels

    In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add frozen hashbrowns or tater barrels, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until crispy and golden brown, about 4-6 minutes per side.

Cooking the Eggs

  1. 8

    Fry the Eggs

    In a non-stick skillet, cook the eggs to your preference (sunny-side up, over-easy, etc.) using a small amount of oil or butter if desired.
