Cooking Time20 min
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 pound round steak, cut into four pieces
- salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Old Bay seasoning or Lawry's Seasoning to taste
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3 cup plus 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a heavy 9-inch cast iron skillet, to 360 degrees F.
- Using the tenderizing side of a meat mallet, pound out the meat.
- Season the steak with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine the beaten egg with 3 tablespoons of the milk.
- Put 1 1/2 cups of the flour in a shallow pan and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the steaks in the flour, coating each piece evenly and tapping off any excess.
- Drip the steak in the egg wash, coating it completely and letting the excess drip off.
- Dredge again in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Fry the steaks in the hot oil, until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Carefully pour off the oil, leaving behind about 1/4 cup of the oil along with the brown bits.
- Over medium heat, add the remaining 3 tablespoons flour and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, whisking constantly.
- Add the remaining 3 cups milk, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low.
- Season with salt and plenty of pepper. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, whisking constantly. The gravy should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it is too thick, add a little water to thin it.
- Serve the fried steak and gravy with mashed potatoes and green beans.
