🥩 1. Prep the Meat
- Pat cube steaks dry
- Lightly season both sides with salt & pepper
🥣 2. Make Dredging Stations
- Bowl 1: Flour + paprika + garlic powder + salt + pepper
- Bowl 2: Eggs + milk (whisked)
🔄 3. Coat the Steaks
- Dip steak in flour
- Dip into egg mixture
- Back into flour again (for extra crunch!)
👉 Press coating firmly so it sticks
🔥 4. Fry to Crispy Perfection
- Heat oil in skillet (medium-high)
- Fry steaks 3–4 minutes per side
- Golden brown and crispy
- Remove and rest on paper towels
🥛 5. Make the Cream Gravy
- Leave 2 tbsp oil/drippings in pan
- Add flour and whisk (cook 1–2 minutes)
- Slowly add milk while whisking
- Simmer until thick
- Season with salt & plenty of black pepper
🍽️ 6. Serve
- Place steak on plate
- Pour hot gravy over the top
- Serve with mashed potatoes, eggs, or biscuits
🔥 PRO TIPS
- Double-dipping = extra crispy crust
- Don’t overcrowd pan (keeps coating crunchy)
- Use cube steak — it’s already tenderized
- Gravy should be smooth, not too thick
😋 BONUS SERVING IDEA
Serve with:
- Buttery mashed potatoes
- Fried eggs
- Biscuits
👉 That’s a full Southern comfort meal right there.
