Ingredients

  • 4 pieces cube steak
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for gravy)
  • 2 cups milk (for gravy)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste (for gravy)

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, mix 2 cups flour with seasoned salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1 1/2 cups milk.
  3. Dredge each piece of cube steak in the seasoned flour, dip in the egg mixture, then return to the flour.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Fry the steaks one or two at a time, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

  7. Add 1/4 cup flour and stir to form a roux. Cook for 2 minutes.
