Ingredients

For the Steak:
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 2 dashes hot sauce
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 ½ teaspoons onion granules
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic granules
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
  • 8 cube steaks
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooking oil
For the Gravy:

  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Steak: In a bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, hot sauce, salt, and pepper until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, corn starch, paprika, onion granules, garlic granules, pepper, and 1 ½ teaspoons of sea salt until combined.
  3. Next, add 1 cube steak to the bowl with the whisked eggs and milk and completely coat.
  4. Transfer the egg-washed steak to the bowl with seasoned flour and dredge to completely coat on each side. Place on a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper and repeat until all of the steaks have been breaded.
  5. Add the breaded steak 2 or 3 at a time to a large frying pan over medium to medium-high heat, or at 350°, and cook for 1 ½ to 2 ½ minutes per side or until browned and cooked through.
  6. Drain on paper towels or a cookie sheet tray with a rack. Repeat the process until all of the steaks have been cooked.
  7. Gravy: In a medium-size saucepot over low heat add in the butter until melted and then whisk in the flour until completely combined.
  8. Pour in the milk while constantly whisking and turn the heat to medium-high until nappe, or very thick.
  9. Finish the gravy with salt and pepper and serve with the chicken fried steak.
  10. Serve with optional garnishes of chopped green onions and parsley.

Notes

  • Chef Notes:
  •  
  •  
  • Make-Ahead: This recipe is meant to be eaten as soon as it is finished cooking.
  • How to Reheat: To reheat the steak, place it on a rack on a cookie sheet tray and bake at 350° for 4-5 minutes or until crisp and warm. If reheating the steak from the freeze, bake on a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper at 350° for 12-15 minutes. Heat the gravy in a small saucepot over low heat until warmed. You can also heat both of these in a microwave until warm.
  • How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for 3 days. This will freeze covered for up to 2 months. Go straight from the freezer to the oven when reheating.
  • Watch the video if you want to make cube steak at home.
  • There will be plenty of gravy leftover.
  • You can make the gravy with leftover oil instead of butter from the frying pan, but your meat can get soggy sitting while waiting.
