How To Make mama's country fried steak
-
1Heat fat until hot, and season your flour. Dredge steak pieces in the flour, pressing in well and shaking off excess, then coat again.
-
2Cook steak pieces in hot fat, allowing about 1 inch between pieces, so cook only as many at a time as will fit in the pan without crowding. This makes them crisp. As they get done on one side, flip over and cook the other side.
-
3Remove steak pieces to a foil-lined pan and keep warm in slow oven while cooking remaining steak. Stir a couple of tablespoons of the leftover flour into the water/milk mixture.
-
4When steak is cooked, scrape up browned bits in bottom of pan, and stir in the water or water/milk combination. Bring slowly to a boil, and cook until thick for gravy. Season with salt and pepper if necessary.
-
5OPTIONAL: You may brown 1 sliced onion in fat prior to adding liquid to make gravy.
