PIONEER WOMAN COUNTRY FRIED STEAK

Steps:

• Arrange three bowls in a line. In the first, mix the milk with the eggs. In the second, mix the flour with the seasoned salt, black pepper, paprika and cayenne. Place the steak in the last bowl. At the end of the line, place a clean plate, ready for the breaded steak. Take the first steak and sprinkle both sides with kosher salt and pepper. Coat it in the flour mixture, then place in the milk/egg mixture, coating thoroughly. Finally, place it back into the flour mixture and turn it, making sure it is well coated. Place on the clean plate, then repeat with the other steaks. Heat the oil and butter over a medium heat in a large skillet. Test by dropping in a few sprinkles of flour, which will sizzle when the oil is hot enough. When the oil is ready, add 3 pieces of the steak at a time and cook until the edges start to look golden. This will take around 2 minutes each side. Place the meat on a plate lined with paper towels and keep warm whilst you cook the rest. Once all the steak is cooked, pour the grease from the pan into a heatproof bowl and return the skillet to the stove (don't clean it first). Set the heat to medium-low and return 1/4 cup of the grease back to the skillet. Once the grease is hot, sprinkle the flour for the gravy over it evenly. Whisk the flour into the grease, which will create a golden brown paste (roux). If it looks too greasy, add a little extra flour. If it seems too clumpy, add a little more grease. Once the roux is a deep, golden brown color, whisk in the milk. Add seasoned salt and black pepper to taste and cook until the gravy is thick and smooth, stirring constantly. This should take 5 to 10 minutes. If the gravy becomes too thick, add a little more milk. Serve the meat with mashed potato and top with the gravy.

COUNTRY FRIED STEAK

Steps:

• Place 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup milk, and eggs in 3 separate shallow bowls in the working area.
• Mix 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and the paprika into the flour and mix well.
• Season both sides of cube steaks with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
• Dip cube steaks in milk, then dredge in seasoned flour.
• Dip floured steaks in egg wash, then again in the seasoned flour.
• Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet on medium heat and do half the cube steaks at a time, or work with two skillets, if you desire.
• Brown the cube steaks on each side, about 8-10 minutes total cooking time; remove from heat and set the steaks aside.
• Drain all but 1 tbsp oil (if any- I don't usually have any, but the steaks are less greasy with less oil) from the pans.
• Add enough butter to the pan to equal 3 tbsp along with the oil.
• Melt the butter and add 3 tbsp flour and stir with a whisk to make a roux, deglazing the bottom of the pan, and cook for a few minutes on LOW heat; do not burn.
• Slowly add the remaining 2 cups milk, and stir or whisk constantly until mixture comes to a boil and thickens; cook for another minute or so and remove from heat.
• Serve Country Fried Steaks (Chicken Fried Steak, as we call it) with plenty of gravy on top, and mashed potatoes on the side (double gravy recipe if you use a LOT of gravy on your potatoes, etc).
