- 4 cube steaks
- 1 1/3 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika

- 2 tsp hot sauce
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil

- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 2 tbsp seasoned flour

Instructions
- Start by making the breading station. Add flour and all seasonings to a shallow bowl and mix to thoroughly distribute. To make the egg mixture, combine. buttermilk, hot sauce, and egg.
- Take a piece of steak and dip it into the seasoned flour mixture then the buttermilk mixture then back into the seasoned flour. Repeat those steps with the remaining steaks.
- In a large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Carefully place breaded steaks in hot oil and fry for about 4 minutes each side until crispy crust is formed. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the frying pan.
- Drain excess oil from cooked steaks on layers of paper towels. You could also use a wire rack over a baking sheet to catch oil.
- In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of frying oil and 2 tablespoons of seasoned flour over medium heat to make a roux. Using the pan drippings and seasoned flour helps flavor the gravy. Cook for a minute to cook out the flour. Add a cup of whole milk and mix to combine. The gravy will start to thicken. Season with salt and pepper.
