Ingredients
2 lb cube steak (about 4 pieces)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 ½ cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon Montreal Steak Spice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ cups buttermilk
1 egg
3 cups avocado oil (for frying, or any oil of your choice)
Chicken Fried Steak Gravy Ingredients:
10–12 oz breakfast sausage, cut into tiny pieces or grated
3 tablespoons butter
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups chicken broth
½ cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
Pound steak to ¼ inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
In a dish, mix 1 ½ cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, Montreal Steak Spice, garlic powder, and additional salt and pepper.
In another dish, whisk together buttermilk and egg.
Dredge each steak first in the flour mixture, then dip into the buttermilk mixture, and dredge again in the flour mixture.
Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium/high heat. Fry steaks until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
For the gravy, sauté sausage in the same skillet until golden. Remove and set aside.
Melt butter in skillet, stir in flour for one minute, then gradually add chicken broth and stir until thickened. Stir in heavy cream, seasoned with salt and pepper.
