The Perfect Steak
To start, you’ll need:
- 4 beef cube steaks or Swiss steaks
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 cup canola oil for frying
Preparation is Key
Heat your oven to 200°F and pound the steaks to 1/4-inch thick. Season with salt and pepper to bring out the flavors. In two separate shallow baking dishes, whisk together the flour and salt, and the eggs and milk. Have a baking sheet ready for later use.
Dredge and Dip
One at a time, dip the steaks into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour mixture, coating them evenly on both sides. Place the steaks on the baking sheet in an even layer.
Frying Perfection
In a large heavy frying pan (ideally cast iron), heat the oil over medium-high until very hot. Fry the steaks until golden brown and cooked through, turning once, about 4 minutes. While the steaks are frying, clean the baking sheet and transfer the steaks to it. Place the baking sheet in the oven to keep the steaks warm while you prepare the gravy.
Gravy Goodness
Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the oil from the frying pan and warm it over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Let cook, stirring with a whisk, until the flour mixture begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in the warm milk, stirring until smooth. Increase the heat to medium and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, whisking, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
The Grand Finale
Serve the steaks with the creamy gravy and enjoy the perfect harmony of flavors and textures!
