directions

  • HOUSE SEASONING:

  • Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
  • STEAK:

  • Combine 1 1/2 cups flour and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a small bowl.
  • Sprinkle 1 side of the meat with the House Seasoning and the other side with the seasoning salt, and then dredge the meat in buttermilk and then flour.
  • Heat 1/2 cup oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add 2 or 4 of the steaks to the hot oil and fry until browned, about 5 to 6 minutes per side.
  • Remove each steak to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Repeat with the remaining steaks, adding up to 1/4 cup more oil, as needed.
  • Drain all but 4 TBS drippings, and scrapings.
  • GRAVY:

  • Add 4 tablespoons flour to the pan drippings, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon.
  • Stir in the pepper and the salt.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the flour is medium brown and the mixture is bubbly.
  • Slowly add the whole milk, stirring constantly with whisk.
  • Return the steaks to the skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to low, and place the onions on top of the steaks.
  • Cover the pan, and let simmer for 30 minutes.
  • NOTE:

  • See Paula Deen's biscuits to serve with this.

  1. I use lots more freshly ground black pepper on the steak, and som Dash substitute for the salt. Morton's salt substitue work real well. very flavorful. I am cutting out most salt when I can. Montreal steak seasoning is my favorite for beef. Try it. A True Southern cook. 83 yrs old, graduate from Winthrop College with a Major in Home Economics..Loves Southern cooking
     
  2. I love country fried steak, and this recipe was no exception. I cut the recipe in half with no problems. I did have a little trouble keeping all the breading on the meat, it wanted to fall off after the first flip.....but I managed to keep it all together. Delicious meal. Thanks for sharing! Made for Cooking Tag Mania game.
     
  3. According to my 7 year old son, he said," Your chicken fried steak is the best one I have ever had, better than the restaurants." Very good flavor, great recipe to add to my collection.
     
  4. This turned out wonderfully.....my only problem was finding a pan big enough for the gravy! I had to switch to a bigger one. You can also use sliced green onions in the dish. I thought it had a great flavor. I will make this again.
     
  5. It was good but just wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be. It seemed to be missing something...
