Ingredients
- 4 cube steaks
- 2 tablespoons Montreal Steak Seasoning
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs large; lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or shortening
- 1 cup whole milk
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle the cube steaks with the steak seasoning. Mix the flour with salt and black pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge each steak in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, then dredge it in flour again.
- Fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Check that each steak reaches at least 145°F with a food thermometer. Transfer to a clean paper-towel-lined plate and let rest for at least 3 minutes. Make the gravy during this rest.
- Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the skillet. Stir 2 tablespoons of the dredging flour into the fat. Cook over medium heat for 1 minute, scraping up the browned bits.
- Gradually whisk in the milk. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the gravy is thickened and bubbly. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste, then serve over the rested steaks.
Notes
The prep time includes the 3-minute rest. Salt and pepper are to taste and are not counted in the nutrition. Not all of the frying oil and flour is eaten, so the nutrition is an estimate.
