Country Fried Steak

Such a southern classic, but I don't order it out much. It is so amazing!  A lot of times I hate white gravy, because it's so bland or overly thick, but this one I make combines some light seasonings and onions to give it flavor. It's also easy to thin out with a little extra milk if needed. 

So the first thing you're going to do is get your pork ready to fry.  I found these pork cutlets that were pounded out like cube steaks.  I love them like this.  They are tender and perfect.  If you can not find this in the store, you can get a regular pork chop- just try to get a thinner one (without the bone). 

Ingredients: 

• 6 pork cutlets or chops
• salt
• pepper
• 2 cups of flour 
• 1tbsp slap ya mama cajun seasoning
• 2 eggs
• Oil for frying

Directions: 

• Lay out the 6 cutlets and sprinkle salt and pepper on them.  Just sprinkle them lightly, there is no heavy seasoning needed at this point.
• Add 2 cups of flour to a bowl.
• Add 1 tbsp of slap ya mama cajun seasoning to the flour.
• In a separate bowl add 2 eggs, mix them
• Put enough oil in your frying pan so there is about 1.5-2 inches of oil.
• Heat oil on medium/medium low
• Dip 1 cutlet at a time in the flour, then into the egg, and back into the flour
• Place the cutlet in the warm oil.
• I cook these on a low medium heat because I do not want anything to burn so I can make the gravy after. 
• Fry until golden in color.

When you are done frying all the cutlets, now is time to make the gravy!

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup flour

• 3-4tbsp grease reserved from frying

• 1/4tsp pepper

• 1/2tsp salt

• 1 3/4cup-2cups milk

• 1/4tsp slap ya mama cajun seasoning

Directions:

• Dump out your grease but reserve about 3-4 tbsp.  

• Put the 3-4tbsp in the frying pan you fried the cutlets in.

• Add 1/4-1/2cup onion.

• Sauté down the onion.

• Add 1/4cup flour.

• Mix it around and cook it for a few minutes.

• Add 1 3/4cup-2cups milk. It will thicken quickly and you may need to lower your heat.  If the gravy is still too thick, add a little more milk.

• Add 1/4tsp slap ya mama cajun seasoning.  

• Salt and pepper the gravy. 

• Serve over the cutlet!
