Recipe Added:  7/9/2012
2 lbs tenderized cube steak, in 1 inch strips
1 cup flour
1 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
3 eggs
1 cup + 2 cups milk
vegetable oil and butter
salt and pepper, to taste
Combine flour, seasoned salt, pepper, and Cayenne pepper in a dish. Whisk together 1 cup milk and eggs in a separate dish. to bread the meat, first dredge in flour, then dip quickly in egg mixture, then put back into the flour to coat on both sides. Continue until all the meat is breaded. Heat vegetable oil with 2 Tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Fry steak strips 4 or 5 at a time, turning midway through. When golden brown, remove from the pan to a paper towel-lined plate. Continue until all the meat is done. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

To make the gravy, pour off all the grease from the pan. Add 1/4 cup of the grease back in, then sprinkle on 2 to 4 Tbsp of the flour mixture (or use fresh flour.) Whisk mixture till it becomes a paste (add more flour if needed) and cook the paste over medium-low heat until deep golden brown. Pour in 2 cups milk, whisking constantly. Allow the gravy to cook and thicken, whisking regularly and adding more milk if it seems too thick. Season with salt and pepper. Serve steak fingers with gravy and a salad.
