Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 225˚F (110˚C).
- Set a steak in the center of a cutting board and cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound the steak evenly to ¼-inch (½ cm) thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Repeat with the remaining meat.
- In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and 1 cup (240 ml) of milk. In a separate shallow dish, mix together the 1 ½ cups (190 g) of flour, pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Dredge the steaks in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, letting any excess egg drip off. Coat again in the flour mixture. Set aside for 10-15 minutes, until the coating has dried out a bit.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a 10-inch (25.5 cm) pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 375˚F (190˚C).
- Fry the steaks, 2 at a time, for 3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook on the other side for 3 minutes more, until golden brown and cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 155˚-165˚F (170˚-175˚C). Transfer the steaks to a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet and immediately season with salt. Once all of the steaks are done frying, transfer to the oven while you prepare the gravy.
- Pour the hot oil into a heatproof bowl and let cool before discarding. 9. Leave any browned bits in the pan.
- In the same pan, without wiping it out, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of flour, whisking to incorporate. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the roux is a light brown color. Add the heavy cream and remaining milk. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Ladle the gravy over the steaks and serve with your favorite side dishes.
- Enjoy!

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK W/ COUNTRY GRAVY
Steps:
- To season the tenderized steaks, mix together sea salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Season both sides of steaks. Set aside.
- In a large dish (I use a glass casserole dish) , whisk together flour, and all of the remaining coating mix seasonings until combined.
- In another large dish, place ½ cup of the seasoned flour into the dish. Add in the egg and enough milk to create a thick batter.
- Dip the steak in the flour mixture first, lightly coating both sides.
- Next dip the steak into the batter mixture, coating both sides and letting the excess drip off.
- Finally place the steak back into the flour mixture, being sure to press the flour into the steaks, coating both sides. Repeat until all steaks have been coated.
- Preheat your oven to 200 F. Place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and place it into the oven. (This will be where you will keep the cooked steaks to keep them warm until you are ready to serve).
- Fill a large deep skillet with about an inch of canola oil and heat to 350 F.
- Fry the steaks 1-2 at a time, (about 2-3 minutes per side) until golden. Place finished steaks on the cooling rack in the oven. Repeat until all steaks have been fried.
- Carefully drain the oil from the pan and wipe out the pan. (You can leave the flavorful brown bits in the bottom of the pan if desired. If you do, this will result in a tan and not white gravy though)
- Add butter to the pan over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted, add flour to the pan.
- Cooked while stirring constantly until golden brown,(about 2-3 minutes). This will remove the raw flour taste.
- Gently whisk in the broth and milk a little at a time.
- Cook while stirring constantly to remove any lumps and until the mixture begins to thicken to your liking. (Cook longer if you want thicker gravy or add more milk if you want thinner gravy)
- Season gravy with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and a bit of thyme until your desired flavor is reached (Be sure to taste after each seasoning to prevent overseasoning the gravy. Let your tastebuds be your guide. The end result should taste good enough to eat plain!)

Steps:
- In a small mixing bowl whisk together buttermilk, eggs, 1-teaspoon salt and 1/2-teaspoon pepper; place in a one gallon zipper-locking bag with cube steaks. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 4 hours, overnight preferred.
- In a small mixing bowl whisk together flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2-teaspoon pepper and onion powder. Remove and reserve 2-tablespoons of seasoned flour for later. Place remaining seasoned flour in shallow baking dish.
- Transfer cube steaks and buttermilk marinade to a second shallow baking dish. Pull steaks from liquid and 1) dredge each in flour, 2) return to buttermilk mixture, then 3) back into flour-- making sure to work the seasoned flour into the steak by pressing with your fingertips. Transfer steaks to a wire rack or paper towels on a sheet pan and refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Add oil to a deep 12" cast iron skillet, Dutch oven or deep fryer making sure to only come up about half way to the top of the pan; heat oil to 350°-375°F. Working in batches, fry breaded steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer steaks to a paper towel or rack to drain away oil; keep warm.
- Heat 2-tablespoons oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat and add reserved seasoned flour. Whisk for 3 minutes or until flour just begins to brown; whisk in milk, remaining 1-teaspoon salt and 1/2-teaspoon pepper and whisk continuously. Bring gravy to a boil then reduce to a simmer while whisking for 3 minutes.

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.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a heavy 9-inch cast iron skillet, to 360 degrees F.
- Using a meat mallet, pound out the meat. Season the steak with salt and pepper.
- Combine the egg with 3 tablespoons of the milk. Put 1 1/2 cups of the flour in a shallow pan and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the steaks in the flour, coating each piece evenly and tapping off any excess. Drip the steak in the egg wash, coating it completely and letting the excess drip off. Dredge again in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Fry the steaks in the hot oil, until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Carefully pour off the oil, leaving behind about 1/4 cup of the oil along with the brown bits. Over medium heat, add the remaining 3 tablespoons flour and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, whisking constantly.
- Add the remaining 3 cups milk, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Season with salt and plenty of pepper. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, whisking constantly. The gravy should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it is too thick, add a little water to thin it.

COUNTRY-FRIED STEAKS
This down-home recipe reminds me of my mother, who was raised in the South. It calls for cube steak instead of round steak, so there's no need to pound the meat. I just dip and coat the beef, then cook it in my cast-iron skillet. -Bonnie Malloy, Norwood, Pennsylvania
