Time 20m

Yield 2 cups gravy, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 lbs round steaks
1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 tablespoons green Tabasco jalapeno sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 teaspoons paprika
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cracked pepper
vegetable oil or other fat, for frying
flour
2 1/2 cups milk
salt and pepper

Steps:

Trim steak, cut into 6 to 8 smaller pieces and pound thin.
Combine milk, green Tabasco sauce, and salt in one bowl. Add 1 cup of flour to a second bowl. Combine remaining flour, paprika, garlic, salt and pepper in a third bowl.
Coat steak in first bowl of plain flour. Dip floured steak into milk mixture then coat with seasoned flour mixture. Set aside until all meat has been coated.
Heat 1 to 2 inches of oil or fat in a heavy fry pan (a cast-iron skillet is most authentic ;).
Fry steaks approximately 2 min per side until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels, serve with cream gravy, mashed potatoes and biscuits.
For the Cream Gravy: (try at your own risk, it did not turn out for me but I am a gravy novice so I might have done something wrong -- ).
Pour off all but 6 tbsp of fat from the fry pan.
Using the leftover seasoned flour first, add 6 tbsp flour and blend well.
Gradually stir in milk.
Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, season with salt and pepper.
Serve gravy over steaks (or on the side for Yankees!).
