Trail Drive Chicken Fried Steak

 

1 pound cubed or tenderized round steak
Black pepper
1 egg
2 tablespoons water
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup vegetable oil
Salt

Divide cubed round steak into 4 serving size pieces. Sprinkle with black pepper. With a fork, lightly mix eggs and water. Dip each steak portion into flour, then in egg mixture and again in flour.

Heat oil in a cast iron frying pan ( or whatever you have ) to 350 to 360 degrees F. Fry steaks until golden brown. Turn and fry on other side until done. Drain on absorbent paper. Sprinkle with salt.

 

For Cream Gravy

 ( I use 2% or whole milk, depending on what I have at the time ).

 

Pour all but about 1/4 of grease out of skillet, and add 1/4 cup of all purpose flour to grease, sprinkle with salt and pepper, ( I like a little salt and a lot of black pepper ).

 

Cook untill it just starts turning color ( a pale tan ). Now add a cup of milk/cream, your choice, and stir until it starts thickening.. if it gets to thick, just add a little more milk, a little at a time.. you want it to be able to pour it over the steak, or ladle it over it..

 

So So Good !!!
