I bought a package of cube steaks Saturday and stowed them in the bottom of the fridge. I intended to separate them into packs of two for the freezer. Didn’t get to it on Sunday, so Monday was the day. As I was separating them, they beckoned to me.
No, no, not the freezer!
So I saved one pair and decided to make chicken fried steak.
No measurements!
Fill a plate with flour and sprinkle salt and pepper on top. In a pie plate, crack in two eggs and pour in enough milk to cover the bottom completely, plus a little more. Essentially scramble the eggs into the milk.
Dredge your cube steak into the flour (Lay it on the floured plate and press down. Flip it over and do it again.) then dip into the milk mixture and back into the flour.
Place into a hot greased skillet and cook until the bottom side is brown before flipping. Cook until no pink shows (unless you’re one of those that likes it not quite done…).
When done, remove from the skillet and enjoy with a side of mashed potatoes, cream gravy and your favorite veggie.
Makes Monday’s memorable.
