Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Beef Cubed Steak
  • 1 sleeve saltine crackers crushed
  • 1 cup all purpose flour plus 2-3 tbsp for gravy
  • 1 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 2 tsp Musket Powder Seasoning optional
  • Season Salt for dusting meat and adding to gravy
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup milk

Instructions

For Meat:

  • Cut cubed steak into 4″ pieces (I cut my large pieces in half), sprinkle both sides with season salt and Musket Powder
  • Combine flour, crushed saltines (and more seasoning if you wish) in a gallon plastic (or paper) bag
  • Beat eggs and milk in bowl
  • One by one, shake pieces of steak to coat in plastic bag, then dip individually in egg mixture, drain, and re-coat with flour mixture in bag
  • Fry steaks once all coated in med-high heated oil in skillet until golden brown, flip and fry other side the same
  • Once meat is done, place on a rack on a foil lined baking sheet in 200 degree oven to keep crispy until time to eat

For Gravy:

  • Reserve a few tablespoons of drippings from frying meat and add enough milk to fill skillet half-way. Dust a few tablespoons of flour over top and whisk until thickened over low heat. Add season salt (or table salt) to taste. Serve hot over meat and mashed potatoes.
