Method

Chicken-Fried Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.

  2. 2

    Bread the Steaks

    Dip each cube steak first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour to coat thoroughly.

  3. 3

    Fry the Steaks

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Sausage Gravy

  1. 4

    Cook the Sausage

    In a separate skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbled.

  2. 5

    Make the Gravy

    Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well. Gradually add milk while stirring, then season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Let the gravy simmer until thickened.

Scrambled Eggs

  1. 6

    Whisk the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 7

    Cook the Eggs

    Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir until just set and fluffy.

Hash Browns

  1. 8

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Grate the potatoes and rinse them under cold water. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel.

  2. 9

    Cook the Hash Browns

    In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the grated potatoes, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
