Recipe Introduction
From The Broken Spoke in Austin, TX. This makes enough gravy for 4 steaks. I used 2 large cubed steaks cut up into 4 pieces.
List of Ingredients
1 large egg
1 cup buttermilk
salt
pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cracker meal
3-5 ounces beef cutlet, hand tenderized
vegetable shortening
Cream Gravy
1/2 cup shortening or reserved drippings
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 quart milk
salt, to taste pepper to taste
Recipe
Whip together egg, buttermilk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; set batter aside.
Blend together flour and cracker meal in another bowl.
Place cutlet in mixture, and cover both sides well.
Submerge the cutlet in the egg batter, then place it back in the flour mixture, patting both sides again evenly to coat.
Melt shortening in a deep fryer (or cast-iron skillet), and heat to 325 degrees F. Place cutlet in fryer, and fry until it floats and turns golden.
Remove steak from fryer; drain well, reserving 1/2 cup drippings for gravy, if desired.
Place steak on plate, and keep warm while preparing Cream Gravy.
Spoon gravy generously over steak.
Cream Gravy:.
Place shortening in a 10- to 12-inch cast-iron skillet, and heat until hot.
Gradually add flour, and cook over low heat until mixture turns brown, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
Add remaining ingredients, and cook, stirring constantly until thick.
If gravy gets too thick, thin to desired consistency with water.
Serves 2-4
