Ingredients

For the Fried Steak:

  • 4 cube steaks (beef, about 1/2 inch thick)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup buttermilk (or regular milk)
  • Vegetable oil for frying

For the Sausage Gravy:

  • ½ lb breakfast sausage
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of cayenne or paprika for extra flavor

Instructions

1. Prep the breading:
In one bowl, whisk eggs and buttermilk. In another bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

2. Dredge the steaks:
Dip each cube steak in the flour, then egg mixture, then back into the flour. Press the flour in well for a crispy crust.

3. Fry the steaks:
Heat about ½ inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry steaks for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. Make the sausage gravy:
In the same skillet, brown the sausage. Sprinkle flour over sausage and stir well to combine. Slowly whisk in milk. Simmer while stirring until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and optional cayenne.

5. Serve:
Plate the fried steak and spoon generous amounts of sausage gravy on top. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, biscuits, or eggs.

Tips & Variations

FAQs
