Country Fried Steak

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Begin by tenderizing the beef round steak using a meat mallet until it's about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Coat the Steak

    In a shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. In another shallow dish, add the flour. Dip each steak into the buttermilk mixture, then coat it in flour, pressing to adhere.

  3. 3

    Fry the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Sausage Gravy

    In the same skillet, remove excess oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Add the breakfast sausage and cook until browned. Sprinkle with flour and stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Add Milk

    Gradually add milk to the sausage mixture, stirring continuously until the gravy thickens. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the country fried steak topped with generous spoonfuls of sausage gravy.
