👩🍳 HOW DOES IT COME TOGETHER?
Start with tenderized cube steaks and season them generously.
Dredge each piece through seasoned flour, then coat it in the appropriate egg mixture before returning it to the flour for that classic, craggy crust.
Heat your skillet and cook the steaks until the coating is beautifully golden and crisp and the meat is cooked through. 🔥🥩
Then comes everyone's favorite part:
The gravy. 🤎
Use the flavorful browned bits left in the skillet to create a creamy country-style gravy.
As it thickens, season it to taste and pour it generously over those crispy steaks.
🥔 WHAT SHOULD YOU SERVE WITH IT?
This is where the comfort-food possibilities really begin! 😍
🥔 Creamy mashed potatoes
🌽 Sweet corn
🫛 Green beans
🥕 Glazed carrots
🥬 Southern-style greens
🥖 Warm biscuits
And if you're serving mashed potatoes…
Don't be shy with the gravy. 😂🥣
💡 A LITTLE KITCHEN TIP
Don't overcrowd the skillet when frying.
Giving each steak enough room helps the coating brown evenly and stay crisp.
And when making the gravy, whisk continuously as you gradually add the liquid. This helps create a smoother, creamier texture.
Let the cooked steaks rest briefly on a rack or a suitable draining surface rather than stacking them immediately—this helps preserve that wonderful crispy coating. ✨
