Country Fried Steak




This was delicious! The recipe can be found at www.food.com and the recipe number is 36023 by Sue Lau.

In the first picture to the top left is the three pie tins with milk, then the flour mixture, then beaten eggs.

First you dip the cube steak in milk, then the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and then back into the flour mixture. I found it forms a better crust if you let the excess liquid drip off a little before the flour and then press in the flour mixture on the final dip before frying.

Next picture shows the breaded cube steak in the flour mixture after being dipped in milk, then flour mixture, then egg and now it's back in the flour mixture.

Following is the steak frying in oil in a heavy aluminum pan.

A fried steak-all alone.

A fried steak with friends-mashed potatoes and gravy!

The gravy was made in the same pan after I finished frying the steaks. I kept them warm in the oven on a cookie sheet. Put them on the cookie sheet, place in oven and start preheating to 400 degrees F. Our oven only reached 372 degrees F by the time the gravy was done and we could take out the cooked steaks to complete dinner. These steaks turned out as good as some country fried steaks that I've had in restaurants! (We did have some green veggies like cucumber and salad-they're just not showing in the picture.)

impressive. I've never had fried steak but it looks good when you make it.
