Fried Cube Steak with Gravy
Ingredients
  • 4 (4 ounce) cube steaks
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons ground black pepper, divided
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup lard
  • 1 cup milk
Instructions
1
Prepare the steaks for cooking by sprinkling a small amount of salt and pepper over them.
2
Combine the flour with an additional pinch of seasoning in a shallow dish. In another shallow container, beat the eggs until they are well-mixed.
3
Dip the seasoned steaks in the flour mixture, coating them evenly, before gently placing them back into the dish.
4
Next, dip the floured steaks in the eggs, making sure they are fully coated.
5
Then, dip the egg-coated steaks in the flour mixture once more, ensuring they are well-covered.
6
Heat a generous amount of lard in a large, heavy skillet over an elevated heat setting.
7
Fry the steaks in hot lard until they are a golden brown color, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
8
Remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess moisture.
9
Next, pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the skillet.
10
Sprinkle a small amount of the flour mixture into the remaining fat in the skillet.
11
Cook and stir over a moderate heat setting for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
12
Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
13
Continue cooking and whisking frequently until the gravy thickens and becomes bubbly, 3 to 4 minutes.
14
Stir in the remaining pinch of salt and a little more pepper to give the gravy an extra boost of flavor.
