A classic Southern dish, this country fried steak is crispy, flavorful, and served with a rich, creamy gravy.
Prepare the beef by trimming any excess fat and tenderizing it if needed.
Tenderizing the beef ensures it cooks evenly and remains juicy.
In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Dip each steak into the buttermilk, then coat it in the flour mixture.
Press the steak into the flour mixture to ensure a good coating.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the steaks until golden brown on both sides.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to maintain the oil temperature.
Remove the steaks and set aside. In the same skillet, melt the butter.
Use the same skillet to retain the flavors from the steak.
Whisk in the flour and cook until lightly browned.
Stir constantly to prevent lumps.
Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously, and cook until thickened.
Add the milk slowly to control the consistency of the gravy.
Serve the steaks with the gravy poured over them.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color.
