COUNTRY FRIED STEAK 

Cube steak
seasoned flour*

Use as much steak as you need for your family. Roll the steak in the flour and fry over medium heat until steak is done to your liking.  You can use the pan drippings and a little more flour to make gravy if you like.

 GRAVY 
Add enough shortening or butter to pan to equal 6 Tbsp. Add 6 Tbsp. seasoned flour. Stir until smooth. Add 3 cups milk or water. Cook over med-high heat until thickened.


*Depending on what part of the country you are in, seasoned flour is usually sold in any grocery store. If not, you can make your own by adding a tsp.salt, a tsp. pepper, and any other of your favorite spices to a cup of flour.  You can also purchase the flour from Big Springs Mill in Elliston, Va. If you e-mail me I will give you the contact info.  They will ship it to you.
