Ingredients
Scale
Cube Steaks:
- 4 cube steaks (about 4 oz each)
Breading:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Egg Wash:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk (divided)
Other:
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/4 cup pan drippings
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for gravy)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Set up a breading station: In one shallow bowl, mix flour, seasoned salt, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne. In another bowl, whisk eggs with 1/2 cup milk.
- Dredge each cube steak: First in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then back into the flour. Press the flour into the steaks to coat well. Let sit for 5–10 minutes.
- Fry the steaks: In a skillet, heat oil and fry the steaks until golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the gravy: Whisk flour into pan drippings, then slowly whisk in milk until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve: Hot with gravy spooned over the top.
Notes
- Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans for a true Southern comfort meal.
- For extra-crispy coating, let the breaded steaks chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before frying.
