"Down-home cookin', t'aint nothing quite like it! For breakfast, serve this with some taters. If you prefer it on the dinner menu, I suggest fresh steamed green beans and mashed taters."

directions

  • Sprinkle meat tenderizer on both sides of steaks Prepare coating by mixing salt, pepper, and paprika into flour with a fork Beat eggs in a mixing bowl and stir in the milk Heat the oil/shortening at medium heat while you assemble the steaks.
  • If you have a large skillet you can fry more than one at a time.
  • Use enough oil/shortening so it covers the bottom of the skillet by 1/2 inch.
  • Dip each steak first in flour, then in egg&milk, then in flour, back in egg&milk, final dip in flour and then set carefully in the hot oil.
  • fry for about 10 min.
  • then turn steak over-be careful!
  • The steaks are heavy and you don't want to splatter hot oil everywhere!
  • If you have some metal tongs, they come in handy for this job, paired with a fork to lift the steak enough to get a firm grip on it.
  • Fry the other side for about 5 min. until golden, then use tongs/fork to lift onto a paper-toweled plate to drain.
  • Transfer 2-4 tbsp. grease from frying pan to sauce pot, heat at medium setting.
  • Make a roux by mixing 1/4 c. flour into the hot grease with a fork, cooking until golden brown.
  • Add milk and stir mixture often until it bubbles and thickens to your liking.
  • Salt and pepper the gravy.
  • Serve gravy over steaks.

  1. Substitute seasoned flour for reg. flour and buttermilk for reg milk. Awesome flavor. Take your drippings and left over flour and buttermilk and make gravy for over your steak.

I'm a native Floridian (there's not many of us!) I currently hold the position of Domestic Goddess in the Stout household. I am blessed in that my husband is my soulmate. We share 3 remarkable children, a white cat and, most recently, a white puppy. In the future I plan to finish nursing school and maybe have a woodworking business on the side. Right now I enjoy restoring fatigued furniture, astronomy, and cooking, which brings me here. Oh! I started gardening this year, I love herbs since they are also useful in the kitchen- my favorite being basil.
