Frequently Asked Questions
→ How do you achieve extra crispy coating?
- Double-dipping the steak in seasoned flour and buttermilk ensures a crunchy exterior. Press flour on firmly before frying for best results.
→ Can other cuts of meat be used?
- Cube steak is traditional for tenderness, but thinly pounded round steak or even pork cutlets can also work well.
→ What oil is best for frying?
- Vegetable or canola oil works well because of its neutral flavor and high smoke point for even crisping.
→ How do you make lump-free gravy?
- Whisk flour into oil thoroughly, cook until smooth, then slowly add milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
→ Can the dish be made ahead of time?
- Fried steak is best fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in an oven for crispiness. Make gravy just before serving.
