Chicken Fried Steak with Country Gravy

THIS. WAS. SO. DANG. YUMMY!! This was my first time making anything like that, and first time making gravy. I'm not a big gravy person, but I couldn't have imagined eating this dish without it! We all scarfed our plates down, and I could have licked it clean! So yummy. So yummy. SO YUMMY!!!


Ingredients:

Cube steaks -
3 lbs of cube steak
1 - 1 1/2 cups milk
2 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
Season salt
Few dashes of Cajun seasoning
Lots of black pepper
Canola oil for frying

Gravy -
1/3 cup flour
2 cups of milk
Lots of salt and pepper

Mix your eggs and milk in one shallow container. Mix flour, season salt, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper in another. Begin by seasoning both sides of each of your cube steaks. Dip in your egg mixture and coat each side, then your flour mixture. Coat in the eggs again, and the flour again. 
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook your steaks about 2 - 2 1/2 mins on each side until the edges are golden brown.

For your gravy, don't clean that pan! Sprinkle 1/3 cup flour evenly over the grease. Using a whisk, mix flour with grease, creating a golden-brown paste. Keep cooking until it reaches a deep golden brown color. If paste seems more oily than pasty, sprinkle in another tablespoon of flour and whisk.Whisking constantly, pour in milk. Cook to thicken the gravy. Be prepared to add more milk if it ends up too thick. Add salt and pepper and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until gravy is smooth and thick.


We served with homemade mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob which my Hubby made, and seasoned green beans! It was all perfect! Almost embarrassed to say Hubby ate three steaks....but, they were that good...I don't blame him. SS ate a whole cob and a half of corn!! He just kept wanting more halves! All around, it was a great night and we went to bed with happy bellies. TRY THIS!!!
