Best Country Fried Steak And Gravy Recipe By Tasty Recipes

COUNTRY FRIED STEAK WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Pour flour into a mixing bowl and season generously with seasoning salt, salt, and pepper.
• Whisk eggs and milk together in a separate bowl.
• Place steaks on a cutting board between two layers of plastic wrap; beat with a meat tenderizer on both sides for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Discard plastic wrap and sprinkle seasoning salt on top of steaks. Dip steaks in flour mixture until coated on both sides. Dip into egg mixture, then back into flour mixture a second time; steaks should be completely covered in flour on both sides. Sprinkle again with seasoning salt.
• Fill a large skillet halfway with vegetable oil and heat to medium-high. Allow oil to heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Fry steaks in the hot oil for 3 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• While steaks are frying, stir water into gravy mix in 2-quart microwavable bowl. Microwave on high until thickened, stirring every minute, 4 to 6 minutes total.
• Serve hot steaks with gravy.

COUNTRY FRIED STEAK AND MILK GRAVY

Steps:

• Season meat with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper; set aside. In a shallow dish, mix flour with 1 teaspoon of the pepper. Dredge each steak in flour. Dip in beaten egg, then dredge in flour again.
• Heat lard in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry steaks 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the dredging flour into oil. Cook over medium heat for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of skillet. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 to 4 minutes, or until thickened and bubbly. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons pepper; gravy should be quite peppery.

COUNTRY FRIED STEAK WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Whisk 1/2 cup of the milk and the eggs together in a bowl and set aside. Combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika and some salt and pepper in another bowl and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Dip a cutlet into the egg wash, then in the seasoned flour. Return to the egg wash for a quick dip, then immediately add to the heated oil in the skillet. (Be careful, the oil will pop and sizzle.) Repeat without crowding the skillet. Cook until brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook an additional 3 minutes. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, moderating the heat to maintain medium-high heat.
• Pour off all but 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cooking oil with the "drippings," the browned bits in the bottom of the skillet. On low heat, add 3 tablespoons of the leftover seasoned flour mixture to the oil and whisk to make a roux. Cook until golden, about 1 minute. Gradually add the remaining 1 1/2 cups milk to the flour mixture while whisking together. Let cook until thickened, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Serve the cutlets with mashed potatoes and the gravy.
