Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Beef     Steaks

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 ¼ teaspoons onion powder
1 ¼ teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 (4 ounce) beef cube steaks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 very large sweet onions (such as Vidalia®), thinly sliced
2 cups beef stock
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • In a shallow bowl, stir together the flour, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly mixed. Remove 1/3 cup of the flour mixture, and set aside. Gently press the cube steaks into the remaining flour mixture in the bowl until well coated on both sides.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the foam subsides on the butter. Gently pan-fry the steaks until the coating is browned, about 4 minutes per side. Turn only once. Remove the steaks to a platter.
  • Spread the onions out into the skillet with the remaining oil and butter, and cook over medium heat until the onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often. Sprinkle the reserved flour mixture over the onions; cook and stir for 1 more minute, then pour in the beef stock and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until the gravy is thickened. Scrape the pan well to dissolve any flavor bits left in the bottom. Return the browned steaks to the gravy mixture, then push them down into the gravy. Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the steaks are very tender, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 oz cube steak, 4 steaks, 8 oz (225 g) each
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
2 large eggs
2 ¾ cups whole milk, divided
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided, plus 3 tablespoons
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 225˚F (110˚C).
  • Set a steak in the center of a cutting board and cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound the steak evenly to ¼-inch (½ cm) thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Repeat with the remaining meat.
  • In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and 1 cup (240 ml) of milk. In a separate shallow dish, mix together the 1 ½ cups (190 g) of flour, pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Dredge the steaks in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, letting any excess egg drip off. Coat again in the flour mixture. Set aside for 10-15 minutes, until the coating has dried out a bit.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a 10-inch (25.5 cm) pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Fry the steaks, 2 at a time, for 3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook on the other side for 3 minutes more, until golden brown and cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 155˚-165˚F (170˚-175˚C). Transfer the steaks to a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet and immediately season with salt. Once all of the steaks are done frying, transfer to the oven while you prepare the gravy.
  • Pour the hot oil into a heatproof bowl and let cool before discarding. 9. Leave any browned bits in the pan.
  • In the same pan, without wiping it out, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of flour, whisking to incorporate. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the roux is a light brown color. Add the heavy cream and remaining milk. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle the gravy over the steaks and serve with your favorite side dishes.
  • Enjoy!

COUNTRY FRIED STEAK WITH WHITE GRAVY



Country Fried Steak with White Gravy image

Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 (1 3/4 to 2-pound) round steak, cut into 4 equal portions
2 1/2 cups milk, divided
3 tablespoons Essence, recipe follows, divided
1 cup fine dried bread crumbs
1/2 pound bacon, diced
Vegetable oil, for frying, if needed
1 1/2 cups bleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup minced yellow onions
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Serving suggestion: Cheesy grits, optional
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons garlic powder

Steps:

  • Place the pieces of steak on a plastic wrap covered work surface and cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Pound the meat to a 1/4-inch thickness with a meat mallet. Season both sides of the meat with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the Essence.
  • Fry the bacon in a large skillet until just crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain, leaving the fat in the pan. Set the pan aside.
  • Combine the flour with 1 tablespoon of the Essence in a large shallow bowl. Whisk the egg with 1/2 cup of the milk and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the Essence in another bowl. Combine the bread crumbs and the remaining 1 tablespoon Essence in another shallow bowl or baking dish.
  • Dredge the meat in the seasoned flour, then dip in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the meat in the seasoned bread crumbs, coating each side evenly. Shake off any excess bread crumbs. Reserve the seasoned flour.
  • Reheat the bacon fat in the skillet over high heat until very hot but not smoking. In batches, without crowding (you may only be able to cook 1 portion at a time), carefully add the meat and fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side, adding a small amount of the vegetable oil, if necessary, for frying. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of the reserved seasoned flour to the pan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes, to make a light roux. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 2 cups milk, the salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce is thickened and there is no raw flour taste, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bacon.
  • Serve the steaks with the hot gravy and cheesy grits, if desired.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

COUNTRY FRIED STEAK WITH GRAVY



Country Fried Steak with Gravy image

Provided by Virginia Willis

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups whole milk, at room temperature
2 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups canola oil, for frying
2 pounds round steak, tenderized and roughly cut into 5-inch squares (about 8 pieces)
Mashed potatoes, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk 1/2 cup of the milk and the eggs together in a bowl and set aside. Combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika and some salt and pepper in another bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Dip a cutlet into the egg wash, then in the seasoned flour. Return to the egg wash for a quick dip, then immediately add to the heated oil in the skillet. (Be careful, the oil will pop and sizzle.) Repeat without crowding the skillet. Cook until brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook an additional 3 minutes. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, moderating the heat to maintain medium-high heat.
  • Pour off all but 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cooking oil with the "drippings," the browned bits in the bottom of the skillet. On low heat, add 3 tablespoons of the leftover seasoned flour mixture to the oil and whisk to make a roux. Cook until golden, about 1 minute. Gradually add the remaining 1 1/2 cups milk to the flour mixture while whisking together. Let cook until thickened, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the cutlets with mashed potatoes and the gravy.

COUNTRY FRIED STEAK W/BROWN ONION GRAVY



COUNTRY FRIED STEAK w/BROWN ONION GRAVY image

I like country fried steak at home or at a restaurant. I like the white gravy or brown gravy. I like it with onion or without onion.

Provided by Bobby (*_*)

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pkg round steak, cut into quarters (4), beat with meat tenderizer
1/4 c vegetable oil
1 c self rising flour
1 large egg
1/4 c buttermilk
2 tsp coarse salt
2 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 c sweet onion
3 c water

Steps:

  • 1. Take two bowls, one for the flour, salt, pepper and onion powder, mix well. The other for egg and buttermilk.
  • 2. Add oil to large skillet on medium-high heat. Once oil starts to ripples, take steak, dredge through buttermilk then flour, add to skillet, repeat other pieces of meat. (Save the flour for gravy.) Turn heat to medium and cook for 6-8 minutes or until meat turns brown. Turn over and cook 6-8 minutes or until meat is brown, take out of skillet.
  • 3. Turn heat to high and add onion to skillet and saute for 1 minute. Add saved flour and stir until flour is medium brown, add water, stir until gravy is thick.
  • 4. Take off heat, and pour into bowl. Serve over steaks.

Tips:

  • For a more tender steak, use a meat mallet to pound the steak to a thickness of 1/4 inch before dredging and frying.
  • To make sure the steak is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The steak is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) for medium-rare, 175 degrees Fahrenheit (80 degrees Celsius) for medium, or 185 degrees Fahrenheit (85 degrees Celsius) for well-done.
  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or even a heavy skillet to pound the steak.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the steak by cutting into it. The steak is done when the juices run clear.
  • Serve the country-fried steak with mashed potatoes, green beans, and brown onion gravy.

Conclusion:

Country-fried steak is a classic Southern dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful dish, give country-fried steak a try. You won't be disappointed!
