Ingredients
  

For The Steak:

  • 4 boneless sirloin steaks or cube steaks about 1/2 inch thick
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • Vegetable oil for frying

For The Gravy:

  • 4 tablespoons butter salted
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prep The Steaks

  • Start by tenderizing your steaks if you’re using sirloin. You want them nice and thin, about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides of the steaks with salt, pepper, and cayenne for a hint of spice.

Step 2: Set Up The Breading Station

  • In one bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk and beaten eggs. This combo will give your steak that crispy coating everyone loves.

Step 3: Bread The Steaks

  • Dredge each steak in the flour mixture and then dip it into the egg and buttermilk mixture. After that, coat it again in the seasoned flour. Press the flour onto the steaks to make sure the breading sticks well.

Step 4: Fry The Steaks

  • Fill a big skillet with about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil and heat it over medium heat. When the oil is hot (you can test it with a small piece of breading), carefully add the steaks. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Set the steaks on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 5: Make The Gravy

  • Melt the butter in the same skillet over a medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, whisking constantly to make a roux. Add the milk gradually while stirring to avoid lumps. Simmer it for a while till it thickens. To taste, add more salt and black pepper to the gravy.

Step 6: Serve

  • Serve your crispy fried steaks immediately after pouring the creamy sauce over them.
