Ingredients
Shop the tools- 4 cube steaks (about 1.5 lbs)
- 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

- 2 1/2 cups whole milk (for gravy)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Mix flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a shallow dish.
Dredge each steak in flour, then egg mixture, then flour again.
Heat 1/2 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry steaks 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove and keep warm.
Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of oil and drippings.
Gradually add milk, whisking constantly until smooth.
Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve steaks smothered in cream gravy.
Chef's Comfy Tip
The key to crispy coating is making sure your oil is hot enough - test with a pinch of flour, it should sizzle immediately.
