Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cube steaks about 1/3 pound each
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour divided
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper plus more for gravy
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup whole milk plus 2 1/2 cups for gravy
  • Vegetable oil for frying about 1/2 cup

Method
 

  1. Pat steaks dry; season both sides with salt and pepper. Pound about 1/4-inch thick with a meat mallet.
  2. Mix 1 cup flour, seasoned salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne in a shallow dish. Separately whisk eggs and 1/4 cup milk.
  3. Dredge steaks in flour, dip in egg, then flour again, pressing to adhere.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Fry steaks 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through; transfer to a plate.
  5. Reduce heat to medium; whisk 1/4 cup remaining flour into drippings for 1 minute.
  6. Gradually whisk in 2 1/2 cups milk, scraping up browned bits.
  7. Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Season generously with pepper and salt to taste.
  8. Serve steaks covered with gravy.
