Country Fried Steak with Gravy

A classic Southern dish is Country Fried Steak.  I think you have to be able to cook this meal to be a true Southerner.  I've been playing around with gravy some, but this was my first time trying cubed steak.  You may want to play around with the seasoning to get it where you want it, I will do that more next time I try this meal, but this is a good basic place to start.

Country Fried Steak with Gravy

cubed steak, 2 pieces
1 egg
2 cups flour, divided
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper
oil for frying
3 cups milk
Heat oil over medium heat in frying pan.  Break egg onto saucer, beat.  Mix 1 cup flour, salt, and pepper on large plate.  Dredge cubed steak in flour, then dip in egg.  Dredge cubed steak a second time in flour.  Drop into hot oil, cook 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.  Pour off hot oil until you have about 2-3 tbsp left.  Add 1 cup flour, mix with oil and brown mixture, lowering heat to low-medium low.  Add milk slowly  while constantly stirring until you get the amount of gravy you would like to make.  Cook on low-medium low, constantly stirring, until gravy is desired consistency (make take a little while to thicken, but cook it slowly).  Serve over rice.

Slow Cooker Cubed Steak

Today's recipe is for cubed steak.  I have to credit my parents with this recipe.  They would make this often on Sundays and making it now reminds me of home.  I have to warn you, since it cooks all day, it can smell quite strong.  I have even placed it in the garage to cook so that the house wouldn't smell.  It's worth it though!

Slow Cooker Cubed Steak

1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can full of water
Place meat inside of slow cooker.  Top with water, onion soup mix, and cream of mushroom soup.  Cook on low 6 hours or high 4 hours.  Serve over rice.
