Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 pounds steak cubed
  • 1 tablespoon salt or other seasoning salt, Jane’s Crazy Mixed-Up Salt (brand
  • all-purpose flour
  • neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil

Instructions

  1. If necessary, cut the cubed steak into serving sized pieces.
  2. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil over medium-high heat in a heavy cast iron skillet.
  3. Liberally season both sides of the cubed steak with the seasoning salt. You can use any seasoning salt that you like or just plain salt and pepper.
  4. Dredge the steak one piece at a time in flour.
  5. Carefully place the prepared steak in the hot oil. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side.
  6. Check for adequate browning and turn to the second side to cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Remove steak to a paper towel lined plate and keep warm until serving.

To Make Gravy:

  1. Pour out all but about 4 tablespoons of the cookingoil, but keep all the crispies and drippings in the pan.
  2. Put the pan back over medium heat and sprinkle inabout 4 to 6 tablespoons of flour.
  3. Stir and cook until the flour turns a golden brown.
  4. Stir in about 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, reducethe heat and cook until thickened. It only takes a few minutes.
  5. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

  • When frying, don't crowd the pan. If you put too much in the pan at once, the temperature of the oil falls and then you wind up with food stuck to the pan and all that crispy, crunchy goodness stays on the bottom of the pan instead of on the meat where it belongs.
  • Any leftovers can be kept for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or in a low oven until warmed through.
