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

  1. Sprinkle meat tenderizer on both sides of steaks.
  2. Prepare the coating by mixing the salt, pepper, and paprika into flour with a fork.
  3. Beat eggs in a mixing bowl and stir in the milk. Heat the oil/shortening at medium heat while you assemble the steaks.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Fry the other side for about 5 min. until golden, then use tongs/fork to lift onto a paper-toweled plate to drain.
  8. Transfer 2-4 tbsp. grease from frying pan to sauce pot, heat at medium setting.
  9. 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.
  10. Serve gravy over steaks.
