Country Fried Steak with Gravy
Description
A traditional Southern dish, this version of country fried steak with gravy takes less time and uses fewer ingredients.
Ingredients
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt, or more to taste
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
2 large eggs
•
2 tablespoons milk
•
2 (6 ounce) beef top sirloin steaks
•
1 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
•
2 cups cold water
•
1 (2 9/14 ounce) package country gravy mix
Directions
1
Pour flour into a mixing bowl and season generously with seasoning salt, salt, and pepper.
2
Whisk eggs and milk together in a separate bowl.
3
Place steaks on a cutting board between two layers of plastic wrap; beat with a meat tenderizer on both sides for 3 to 5 minutes.
4
Discard plastic wrap and sprinkle seasoning salt on top of steaks. Dip steaks in flour mixture until coated on both sides. Dip into egg mixture, then back into flour mixture a second time; steaks should be completely covered in flour on both sides. Sprinkle again with seasoning salt.
5
Fill a large skillet halfway with vegetable oil and heat to medium-high. Allow oil to heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
6
Fry steaks in the hot oil for 3 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
7
While steaks are frying, stir water into gravy mix in 2-quart microwavable bowl. Microwave on high until thickened, stirring every minute, 4 to 6 minutes total.
8
Serve hot steaks with gravy.
