Ingredients
  

  • 2 cube steaks
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour blend without xanthan gum
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter

FOR THE GRAVY

  • 3 Tablespoons gluten-free flour blend with no xanthan gum
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • sea salt to taste
  • ground pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a rectangle pan, beat egg and milk together.
  • In a separate rectangle pan, mix together flour, salt, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  • Dip one steak into flour mixture coating both sides. Dip meat into the egg/milk mixture and coat both sides. Dip again into flour mixture coating both sides. Place breaded meat on a plate and continue the process with the second piece of meat.
  • Heat the oil and butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Drop a few sprinkles of flour to make sure the grease is hot. Place meat in skillet and cook for three minutes each side or until golden brown. Remove the meat to a plate and keep warm.

For Gravy:

  • Reduce heat to medium low and whisk in the flour to the grease until the mixture turns golden brown.
  • Pour in milk to flour mixture and continue to whisk until the gravy is smooth with no lumps and thickens. Pour gravy over meat when done.

Notes

  • Double Dipping: For extra crunch, dip the steak in the flour mixture twice—first after the egg wash and once more before frying.
  • Oil Temperature: Maintain the frying oil at 350°F (175°C) to ensure a crispy crust without absorbing too much oil.
  • Gravy Compatibility: Reserve a few tablespoons of pan drippings to enhance the flavor of your gluten-free gravy.
  • Serving Suggestions: This dish pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, green beans, and gluten-free biscuits for a complete comfort meal
