Yum! I love Chicken Fried Cube Steaks and love this version. So moist, and with a delicious crunchy topping. Absolutely delicious!
The steaks didn’t turn out tough at all, which has happened with other recipes. In short, these cube steaks were perfect!
Very simple, tender, and yummy. Down-home cookin’, ain’t nothing quite like it!
A nice keeper.

Ingredients
- 2 lbs cube steaks
- meat tenderizer
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- cooking oil or shortening
For the Gravy
- 2 -4 tablespoons meat drippings
- 1/4 cup flour
- 4 cups milk
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Sprinkle meat tenderizer on both sides of steaks.
- Prepare the coating by mixing the salt, pepper, and paprika into flour with a fork.
- Beat eggs in a mixing bowl and stir in the milk. Heat the oil/shortening at medium heat while you assemble the steaks.
- If you have a large skillet you can fry more than one at a time. Use enough oil/shortening so it covers the bottom of the skillet by 1/2 inch.
- Dip each steak first in flour, then in egg & milk, then in flour, back in egg & milk, final dip in flour and then set carefully in the hot oil.
- Fry for about 10 minutes then turn steak over-be careful! The steaks are heavy and you don't want to splatter hot oil everywhere! If you have some metal tongs, they come in handy for this job, paired with a fork to lift the steak enough to get a firm grip on it.
- Fry the other side for about 5 min. until golden, then use tongs/fork to lift onto a paper-toweled plate to drain.
- Transfer 2-4 tbsp. grease from frying pan to sauce pot, heat at medium setting.
- Make a roux by mixing 1/4 c. flour into the hot grease with a fork, cooking until golden brown. Add the milk and stir mixture often until it bubbles and thickens to your liking. Salt and pepper the gravy.
- Serve gravy over steaks.
