Ingredients
Shop the tools- 4 cube steaks (6 oz each)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup flour (for gravy)
- 3 cups whole milk (for gravy)
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
Pound steaks to 1/4-inch thickness if needed.
Mix flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Dredge steaks in flour, then egg, then flour again, pressing firmly.
Heat 1/2 inch oil in large skillet to 350°F.
Fry steaks 4-5 minutes per side until golden. Drain and keep warm.
Pour off oil, add butter to skillet.
Gradually add milk, whisking constantly. Add white pepper.
Simmer until thick, about 5 minutes. Serve over steaks.
Chef's Comfy Tip
White pepper gives the gravy that classic look and slightly different flavor - but black pepper works fine if that's what you have.
