There are a million different ways to make this, but I found this recipe to be simple, quick, and I always have the ingredients on hand. The steak is tender and flavorful, and the gravy is downright addicting! Ingredients:
6 (6 ounce) cube steaks |
3 large eggs |
1/2 cup water |
2 cups flour |
1 quart vegetable oil (for frying) |
2 tablespoons seasoning salt (we use lawry's) |
1 tablespoon garlic powder |
3/4 tablespoon celery salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons onion powder |
1/2 tablespoon chili powder |
1 chicken bouillon cube |
3 cups milk |
Directions:
1. Mix the egg and water for an egg wash.
2. Add the seasonings to the flour and mix well.
3. Reserve 3 or 4 Tablespoons of the seasoned flour to use in the gravy.
4. Dip each steak into the seasoned flour, then dip into the egg wash, thent back into the seasoned flour, coating each steak well.
5. Heat the vegetable oil to about 350 degrees F in a large skillet. Oil should be deep enough to cover the steaks.
6. Fry the coated steaks until golden brown, then drain them on paper towels and put on a heated platter that is tented with foil.
7. When all steaks are cooked, pour off all but 2 tbls of the oil and the drippings.
8. Add 3-4 Tbls of the reserved seasoned flour.
9. Mix well and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the oil and flour are golden brown.
10. Remove from the heat and add the milk and chicken bouillon.
11. Return to the heat and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens.
12. Serve with mashed potatoes and a vegetable, with the gravy spooned over the steaks.
