Instructions
- Prepare the steak: Tenderize the beef steak by bashing it to an even thickness.
- Make the seasoned flour: Mix flour with cayenne pepper, paprika (smoked if preferred), garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
- Prepare the wet coating: Beat one egg with milk to create the wet mixture for coating.
- Coat the steak: Dredge the steak in the seasoned flour (dry), then dip in the wet egg and milk mixture, then again in the dry flour mixture to create a double coating.
- Fry the steak: Fry the coated steak until golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the black pepper cream gravy: In bacon fat, add flour and cook patiently to make a roux. Slowly add milk and black pepper, stirring until thickened to a creamy gravy.
- Serve: Serve the fried steak with the black pepper cream gravy on the side to avoid covering the golden crust.
