Ingredients:

  • 4 cube steaks (about 4 oz each or 113 g)
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
  • 1 cup (240 ml) vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups (480 ml) beef broth
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Tenderize the cube steaks using a meat mallet until about 1/2-inch thick.
  2. In one shallow dish, combine flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. In another dish, whisk together egg and milk.
  3. Dredge each steak in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, and coat again in flour. Press the flour onto the steaks to ensure a good coating.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in the frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded steaks, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. In the same pan, reduce heat to medium and add butter, stirring until melted. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of flour, whisking constantly for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
  6. Gradually whisk in beef broth, allowing the mixture to thicken for about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce, cooking until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Slice the cube steak (if desired) and drizzle generously with creamy gravy. Enjoy immediately!
