sawmill gravy

Chicken Fried Steak with Sawmill Gravy is a true Texas meal. Delicious cube steak in a crunchy, flavorful breading and delicious white gravy!

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK AND GRAVY

cube steak (about 2 pounds)

salt and black pepper (to taste)

all purpose flour (divided use)

saltine crackers (crushed)

salt

garlic powder

cayenne pepper

eggs

milk

vegetable oil

all-purpose flour

If your cubed steak is more than 1/2” thick, you’ll want to pound it out until thin. This will provide additional tenderizing as well as allowing for more even cooking.

Season cubed steaks lightly with salt and pepper.

On a plate, place 1/2 cup flour - set aside. In a shallow bowl, mix remaining 1/2 cup flour, saltine cracker crumbs, seasoned salt, garlic powder and cayenne pepper.

In another shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and 1/3 cup milk.

Dredge cubed steak in flour, then dip in egg mixture and then finally coat with saltine cracker mixture.

Continue the same procedure for the rest of the steaks and place them on a large baking sheet.

Heat about 1/2-inch vegetable or shortening in a large pan (preferably cast iron) over medium heat. Note: I prefer shortening for these but use the oil you prefer.

Cook steak in 2 batches for about 5 minutes per side.&nbsp;Continue with the rest of the steaks.

Remove steaks to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain excess oil.

For the cube steaks:

Once steaks are finished cooking, remove excess oil from pan (leaving about 1/4 cup remaining). Add 1/4 cup flour to pan.

Whisk and cook over medium heat for 1 minute.

Gradually whisk in milk and cook until thick.

Whisk constantly and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Pour gravy over steaks.

For the sawmill gravy:

A tasty and easy country style peppered homemade white gravy recipe made with six common staple ingredients in about ten minutes.  It is delicious with biscuits, fried or baked chicken, pork chops, and potatoes.

Easy White Gravy Recipe

Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth and creamy.  Whisk in the cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Continue cooking while whisking frequently until gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.

I love how creamy this gravy is. Perfect with mashed potato!

Wow that looks so good and creamy great for so many uses!

This was the perfect topping for my fried chicken!  I have been looking for the perfect creamy gravy to go along with my family's favorite fried chicken and this is the best recipe.  I made it with a little bit of bacon grease like you suggested and the flavor was "out of this world, delicious"!!  I will definitely be making this recipe again!

This was amazing and such a treat! Thank you!

Such a classic sauce and so versatile too.

This brings back memories of home. Turns out perfect every single time.

This white country gravy is looks delicious!

The right gravy makes the dish a lot better! This white gravy is exactly what I was looking for!

We're obsessed with this gravy! I want to put it on everything.

This is such an amazing gravy recipe! My kids loved it! Thanks for sharing!

I LOVE gravy but I don;t make it nearly enough because my husband hates it. But he's out of town for a couple of days, which means that I am going to be making this on repeat. Thanks so much for the recipe :)

I used this gravy on my vegan schnitzel yesterday and I loved it!

It's funny how things are so different in other areas of the world. Here in the UK we would call that a white sauce. Always tasty.

My husband is from Pennsylvania and he said this is the best homemade closest to Amish gravy he's had since his grandmother made for him as a child!

Wow! That is so easy and delicious. Perfect for my chicken fillet!

Ive never had white gravy before. Its my first time making this

This looks so yummy. I'm definitely going to try this.

My mom loves chicken and she will surely love to try this recipe. I will share this with her for sure.

I found this to be a bit "floury" so I added a chicken bullion cube and a few other spices and we loved it.. 2 cups of milk is perfect if you serve it immediately. If you need to reheat, add the extra 1/2 cup of milk. I'm not trying to be critical, she's the only recipe lady I follow. She's the best

I tried this recipe, and it's really good. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to try the recipe. 


I’ve never thought to add cayenne! I bet that tastes amazing, I’ll have to give this a try.

I am not a good gravy maker - until now!  This is a fantastic recipe and the instructions are so helpful.

I love white gravy, but I honestly had no idea how to make it! Thank you for this super easy to follow recipe. I can't wait to make it again. 

Wow, this was so yummy. It's easy to make and doesn't take so much time.
