Equipment
- Cast Iron Skillet
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 dashes hot sauce
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup corn starch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 1/2 teaspoons onion granules
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic granules
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
- 8 pieces cube steaks
- 1 cup cooking oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups whole milk
- sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare two bowls: one for the wet mixture (eggs, milk, hot sauce) and one for the dry coating (flour, corn starch, paprika, onion granules, garlic granules, pepper, salt).
- Dip each cube steak into the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture, pressing to coat. Place on a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat (about 350°F). Fry steaks 1½ to 2½ minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
- Remove steaks and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all are fried.
- For the gravy, melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Whisk in flour until smooth, then gradually add milk while whisking. Raise heat to medium-high and stir until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Plate the chicken fried steaks and ladle warm gravy over the top. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired.
