Mom's Fried Steak
We grew up eating Mom's Fried Steak recipe almost every week. We love this amazing comfort food. This version is gluten free and uses avocado oil instead of shortening.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. round steak tenderized and cut into individual servings, or about 6 cube steaks
- pink Himalayan sea salt and pepper to taste
- gluten free flour as needed (Mom used regular flour)
- avocado oil as needed (Mom used Crisco shortening)
- 3-4 drops kitchen bouquet seasoning
- water as needed (Mom used potato water from boiling potatoes)
Instructions
- Salt and pepper both sides of the meat.
- Dredge in flour.
- Heat oil over medium heat in extra large skillet.
- Fry steaks in hot oil until brown on the bottom.
- Turn steaks over and cook other side.
- Turn heat to low and cover with lid until meat is cooked all the way through.
- Remove steaks to platter.
- With a spatula scrape up all the beef with drippings so it’s worked into the gravy.
- Increase heat to medium or medium high.
- Add potato water a little at a time until you whisk in one to 1 ½ cups.
- Bring to a boil.
- Add about 1/3 cup gluten free flour mixed with water like a paste and stir very slow into beef drippings/water. (Continue whisking constantly).
- Add kitchen bouquet seasoning, additional salt and pepper and parsley as desired.
- Whisk until gravy has thickened.
- Serve steaks with gravy and mashed potatoes.
Notes
NOTE: If you find the gravy is too lumpy, you can put it in a blender or immersion blender with the chopper option. Pulse for 10-15 seconds and it will smoothen out.
