Country Fried Steaks

When we have our beef processed at the locker we almost always get minute steaks. Sometimes I cube them and use them in soups and chili. Most of the time I make country fried steak. I have my own recipe for country fried steaks but they never seem to turn out well so I searched for a new recipe to try. I found this recipe at the Taste of Home website and decided to try it out.

 So here is how it turned out. I coated my steaks. I always just used to use flour and this recipe calls to mix in some cornmeal. Great idea!

I fried them. I definitely think that the cornmeal made a huge difference! The flour coating I used just came right off in the pan. The cornmeal made them really crispy, too. And I always have to use my cast iron skillet. That's how I cook around here.

I did stray from the recipe a tad. I used the same pan for frying to make the gravy instead of using a sauce pan. Less dishes! Plus you get all the good crispy pieces from frying.

And I had a great supper. We almost always eat rice with this dish instead of mashed potatoes. It really is delicious with the gravy.

Would I make this again?

I think so!
