How to Make Country Fried Steak In Paradise
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Cut the steak (about 1 pound) into 4 equal-sized pieces. Dredge each piece thoroughly in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the steak to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook for 15 minutes.
- Uncover the skillet, increase heat to medium, and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the steak is crispy and cooked through, flipping once halfway through.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain, reserving the bacon drippings in the skillet.
- Transfer the cooked steak to a serving platter and keep warm.
- Pour off excess bacon drippings, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the skillet.
- Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the flour is lightly browned and fragrant (this is your roux).
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, continuing to whisk constantly until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency (about 3-5 minutes).
- Stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the gravy generously over the country fried steak and serve immediately.
