Step 1

Melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, gradually stir in flour to form a roux.

Step 2

Gradually stir in stock and milk, stirring continuously to avoid clumps. Add salt, pepper and cayenne.

Step 3

Simmer till the gravy has thickened to your liking. Adjust for seasoning.

Step 4

Preheat 1/4 inch deep oil in a skillet over medium high heat to 350°F.

Step 5

Mix the egg, milk and hot sauce in a shallow bowl. Combine flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and cayenne together on a plate.

Step 6

Pat the cube steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Dredge first in the flour mixture, then the milk mixture, then again in the flour mixture.

Step 7

Fry the cube steaks about 3-4 minutes per side, until crispy and golden brown. Work in batches. When steaks are cooked, remove to a wire rack to drain.

Step 8

Serve with white country gravy and your choice of sides.
