    INGREDIENTS

    • 1½ cups whole milk
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 cups flour
    • 1 tsp each onion powder, garlic powder, paprika
    • ¼ tsp Cayenne pepper
    • 3 lbs cube steak
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • ½ cup canola oil

    For the Gravy:

    • ⅓ cup flour
    • 3 cups whole milk
    • 1 Tbsp each soy sauce and Worcestershire
    • 1 tsp seasoned salt
    • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1
    Combine milk and eggs in one bowl and flour with the spices in another to create a breading station.
    2
    Season cube steaks with salt and pepper to taste and dredge in flour mixture shaking off excess. Coat in milk/egg mixture and dredge again in flour mixture.
    3
    Place a sauté pan over medium heat. Cook the meat until the edges start to look golden brown, about two minutes per side.
    4
    Pour the grease into a heatproof bowl. Without cleaning the pan, return it to the stove over medium-low heat.
    5
    Pour ¼ cup of retained cooking oil back to pan until hot. Sprinkle flour evenly and whisk, forming a roux. Keep cooking until the roux reaches a golden brown.
    6
