Chicken Fried Cube Steaks and Gravy

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 the steaks. Prepare the coating by mixing the salt, pepper, and paprika into the flour with a fork. Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl and stir in the milk. Heat the oil/shortening at medium heat while you assemble the steaks.
  2. 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.
  3. Dip each steak first in flour, then in egg and milk, then in flour, back in egg &milk, final dip in flour and and then set carefully in the hot oil. Fry for about 10 min. then turn steak over-be careful!
  4. Fry the other side for about 5 min. until golden, then use tongs/fork to lift onto a paper-toweled plate to drain.
  5. Transfer 2-4 tbsp. grease from frying pan to sauce pot, heat at medium setting.
  6. 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.
  7. Salt and pepper the gravy.
  8. Serve the gravy over the steaks and on some mashed potatoes.
