How To Make Country-Fried Steak And Eggs
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup milk
- 6 eggs, large, divided
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp MSG
- 15 oz steaks, preferably cube steaks, pre-tenderized
- salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup frying oil
For Gravy:
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tbsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
To Serve:
- ½ cup mixed vegetables, roasted or cooked to your preference
- 1 egg, per serving, fried
- 4 slices bread, toasted
Instructions
-
In a bowl, beat the 2 eggs and milk until they are well combined. Set aside.
-
In another large bowl, combine the MSG and flour together. The bowl should be big enough to batter the steaks.
-
Next, season the steaks to taste with salt and pepper, then coat both sides of the steaks in flour one at a time. After that, dip them into the egg and back into the flour. Once this has been done for all steaks, place them on a plate.
-
Over medium heat, fill a large skillet with about half a cup of oil and let it warm for about five minutes.
-
Cook the steaks on each side for about 2 to 3 minutes until they turn golden brown.
-
Once the steaks are done cooking, let them drain and set aside. Pour the leftover oil into a heat-safe bowl.
-
To make the gravy, melt the butter in the pan then add the flour, stir to combine both ingredients for roughly 10 to 15 minutes over medium-low heat, until caramelized. It's what gives the gravy its color.
-
Slowly pour in the milk, salt, and pepper into the skillet, stirring occasionally. The mixture should be thick but not paste-like. Lastly, fry the eggs as desired.
-
Once your eggs are ready, serve them alongside some toast and steaks with ⅓ cup of gravy on top, alongside mixed vegetables. Enjoy!
