Chicken-Fried Steak:

 
There aree so many ways to make Chicken Fried Steaks and this is another good one... 

 

1-1/2# cube, bottom round or rump steaks


1/4 cup milk


1 egg


1 cup flour


2 t. black pepper


1-1/2 t. salt


3/4 t. (or more) ground red pepper


1/4 cup shortening

 

For Spicy Gravy:

 

1 small onion


2 to 3 T. flour


1 cup milk

 

 Rinse the cube steaks with cool water and pat dry. 

Pound the steaks between sheets of waxed paper with a meat mallet to flatten. 

Whisk the milk and egg in a bowl. 

Combine the flour, black pepper, salt and red pepper in a shallow dish
and mix well. 

Dip each steak in the egg mixture and then coat with the flour mixture. 
Let stand for 10 minutes. 

Heat the shortening in a large skillet until it sizzles when a
drop of water is added. 

Fry the steaks in the hot shortening for 3 minutes per side
or until golden brown, turning once. 

Drain, reserving 2 to 3 T. of the pan
drippings for the gravy. 

Place the steaks on a platter and cover to keep warm.

 

For the gravy, sauté the onion in the reserved pan drippings in a skillet for 2 to 3 minutes. 

Add the flour and mix well. 

Cook until bubbly, stirring constantly. 

Stir in the milk. 

Cook until thickened, stirring constantly.
