Cracker Barrel Country Fried Steak Recipe
This recipe is perfect for the winter months when you want to make a hearty, filling dish. It’s also great because it can be served with mashed potatoes and gravy. This gravy has a strong savoury flavour from the bright yellow colour from all of the browned bits in the roux, and a kick from the spicy kick from the cayenne pepper. A hearty dish with a bold flavour, this recipe is a must-try for everyone who appreciates a good steak.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Bottom or top round steak cut into four pieces, tenderized
- 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp Water
- 3/4 cup Bisquick or other buttermilk baking mix
- 1/3 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 150°F. Sift flour, salt, and pepper together in a shallow pan or plate. Combine egg and water in another shallow pan. Pour baking mix into a third shallow pan.
- Dip steaks in egg mixture, then in flour mixture, then in baking mix.
- Add vegetable oil to a large frying pan and heat it until a drop of water sizzles.
- Cook coated steak pieces 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. You can add additional vegetable oil between the steaks if necessary.
- After removing the steak from the oven, pour off the vegetable oil, but keep 2 tablespoons in the pan for the gravy. Serve warm immediately.
