My mother made these for us four girls. Money was tight and she couldn't afford steak very often. These use ground beef. I use a 80/20 lean to fat. You can use ground round but it tends to be a little too dry. This is great with mashed potatoes. Everyone I have ever made it for loved it. The first time my DH had it he never knew it was ground beef. He just commented on the tenderness of the steak! Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
2 eggs, beaten |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1/4 cup shortening or 1/4 cup oil or 1/4 cup lard (for frying) |
4 tablespoons of dredging flour |
4 tablespoons cooking fat |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, depending on taste |
3 cups milk |
Directions:
1. Mix 2 cups flour with salt and pepper.
2. Shape ground beef into four thin patties.
3. Dip patties into flour, then beaten egg, then flour again.
4. Put shortening, oil or lard into a heavy skillet over medium high heat.
5. When a little flour sprinkled into skillet begins to sizzle, add patties.
6. Cook for about 5 minutes per side.
7. Remove and drain on paper towels.
8. To make gravy:.
9. Remove all but four tablespoons of fat from skillet.
10. Stir in 4 tablespoons of dredging flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
11. Stir, scraping up browned bits, for about one minute till light brown.
