Chicken Fried Steak with Cream Gravy

Step by stepInstructions

1. Soak the cube steaks in buttermilk for 10 minutes.
2. Whisk the flour with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dredge each steak in the seasoned flour, pressing to adhere.
3. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the steaks 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on a rack.
4. For the gravy, pour off the oil, leaving 3 tablespoons of drippings. Whisk in the flour and cook 2 minutes, then slowly whisk in the milk. Simmer until thick and season with plenty of black pepper.
5. Serve the steaks smothered in gravy.
