CRACKED PEPPER GRAVY
A buddy e-mailed me this a while back, It's pretty dang good too. Cracked pepper is different from freshly ground pepper because the former is stronger in flavor and aroma. Grind them in a food processor or blender, only pulsing them once or twice just to crack them.

Steps:
- Prepare the flour spice by blending the flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Set aside on a plate or waxed paper.
- Prepare the batter by mixing the eggs with a whisk, in a large bowl. Add the cream and beer. Whisk to blend. Set aside.
- In a deep, heavy skillet, heat the oil to 350 degrees.
- While the oil is heating, prepare the round steaks by dredging them in the flour spice, taking care to evenly coat the meat. Shake off any excess. Dip the meat into the batter, and then again in the flour spice, evenly coating the batter so it is dry on the outside.
- When the oil temperature reaches 350 degrees (when a drop of batter sizzles when dropped in it), gently slide one steak into the hot oil. Cook the steak about 5 minutes. Turn in the oil, taking care not to break the coating, and cook the meat 5 more minutes, or until the batter is nicely browned. Drain the cooked steak on paper towels. Repeat with the other steaks. Hold the cooked steaks in a 225-degree oven until all 4 are done.
- Pour Cracked Pepper Gravy over the steaks and serve.
- Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan. When the foam subsides, whisk in the flour. Continually whisk until the flour cooks, becoming a fragrant light brown. Slowly add the milk, continuing to whisk to keep lumps from forming. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer gravy for 10 minutes to cook and reduce. Serve hot.

Steps:
- 1. CHICKEN FRIED STEAK: Place a piece of waxed paper large enough to hold all 4 pieces of steak on the counter. Place paper towels on baking sheet and set aside Preheat oven to 200-225º. Place flour,salt, pepper and paprika in ziplock bag. Seal and shake vigorously to thoroughly mix ingredients. Pour out into shallow mixing bowl. Place 2 eggs and milk in separate mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly to blend Place these two bowls side by side on counter
- 2. Dredge a piece of steak in flour mixture making sure meat is covered completely. Shake any excess flour off. Dip in egg mixture so that steak is covered completely Dip in flour again until steak is completely covered and dry on outside. Place coated steak on waxed paper. Continue these steps for each steak piece until all four are coated.
- 3. Heat cooking oil about 1-2" deep in cast iron or other heavy skillet until oil reaches 350º Cooking oil should cover the bottom half of steak while it is cooking. Put one piece of steak in oil and cook approximately 3 minutes per side until golden brown. NOTE: If you have a very large skillet, you can cook two at a time, but leave plenty of room between each piece. Remove to paper towel covered baking dish and store in preheated oven. Repeat these steps until all four pieces are fried. Leave in oven while you make the gravy.
- 4. MAKING THE GRAVY: Melt butter in another heavy skillet over medium low heat. When butter is no longer foaming, add flour, stirring continuously until a nice light brown roux is formed, Add salt and pepper and continue stirring while slowly adding milk. Stir vigorously to keep lumps from forming. Simmer for about 10 minutes until rich creamy gravy appears.
- 5. Remove steaks from oven onto serving dishes and cover with gravy. Serve immediately while still piping hot.

Steps:
- 1. Melt butter
- 2. Add flour and cook on medium low heat whisking or stirring for 5 or more minutes (this removes the raw taste from the flour). Don't brown the flour and butter this gravy is a white gravy.
- 3. Pour liquid into butter/flour mix and bump heat up to medium. Stir until thickened. Turn heat off and cover to keep warm and to avoid the gravy skim that forms on top if left uncovered. If this happens just add a few tablespoons of milk or water and whisk until smooth again :)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a mortar, smash together 1/4 cup of garlic powder, 1/4 cup of onion powder, the crushed red pepper flakes, and 1 tablespoon of cracked black pepper until the mixture forms a fine powder. Place the spice mix into a large shallow bowl.
- Inject the pork roast all over with the Creole marinade; blot moisture from the outside of the roast. Rub the spice mix all over the pork roast to thoroughly coat. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook and stir the shallots and elephant garlic until the garlic becomes lightly golden brown. Sear the coated pork roast in the hot butter on all sides until the spice coating is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Place the roast into a roasting pan or Dutch oven with the fat side up; scrape up the butter, cooked shallots and garlic, and sprinkle around the roast. Arrange the sweet onions, red potatoes, carrots, and celery pieces around the roast. Mix 1 cup of water with the remaining spice rub, and pour evenly over roast.
- Cover the roasting pan with a lid, and cook in the preheated oven until the meat is very tender, 3 3/4 to 4 hours.
- Remove the roast and set aside on a serving platter; surround the meat with the cooked vegetables. Whisk 1 tablespoon of cracked black pepper, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, and the brown gravy mix together with 2 cups of water in a bowl, and whisk the mixture into the liquid left in the roasting pan. Place the pan over medium heat, and cook, whisking constantly, until the gravy has come to a boil and has thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve alongside the roast and vegetables.
