Serves 4

1 pound beef cube steak, cut into 4 pieces
1 cup flour

Tenderize the meat by pounding it with a mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet. Stir together the flour, salt, paprika, and pepper in a shallow dish.

Put the buttermilk in a separate dish. Dredge steaks in the flour mixture, dip into the buttermilk, and dip again into the flour mixture. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.Cook the steaks 5 minutes on each side.

County Gravy:

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons flour
2 1/2 cups milk

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Use the same pan that you cooked the Country Fried Steak in to make the gravy. Heat the oil and whisk in the flour. Stir constantly for about 5 minutes, or until light brown. Whisk in the milk a little at a time until the mixture thickens. Salt and pepper the gravy to taste.
