By tulawdog

Ingredients

• Country Gravy:
• 1 1/2 to 2 pounds cubed steak
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon each-garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper
• Black pepper to taste
• Additional salt and pepper to season meat
• Vegetable oil for frying.
• 1/4 cup of the same oil you used to cook steak
• 1/3 cup of flour
• Approximately 2 cups of milk
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Cut each cubed steak in half and season lightly with salt and pepper
In a pie plate or flat bowl, beat eggs and milk
In a separate plate, mix flour with seasonings
For each steak:
Dredge in flour mixture
Dip in egg mixture
Dredge in flour again
Dip in egg again
End with another dredge in the flour and set aside.
Repeat

Heat oil in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium high heat. Fry 3 pieces of meat at a time until they get golden brown and turn over to cook the other side. Drain over a wire rack.

Gravy
After frying all of the steak, pour off most of the grease, leaving about 1/4 cup. Sprinkle the flour over the grease and using a whisk, mix the flour with the grease making a loose roux. When the mixture is a golden color, slowly pour in milk, while continuing to whisk. The gravy will become thick. Add more milk if necessary to keep the gravy from getting too thick. Season with salt and pepper. This should be enough gravy for all of your steak and some mashed potatoes.
