- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried parsley flakes
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- 2 egg whites
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 tsp adobo seasoning, optional
- 2 sliced green onions, as garnish
Instructions
- Cut beef into 4-6 equal sized pieces.
- Using a meat mallet, pound each piece of beef to ¼ inch thickness.
- Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. When skillet is hot add vegetable oil.
- While skillet is preheating, whisk together egg whites with a tablespoon of water in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
- In another shallow bowl combine, 1 cup of the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley flakes, mustard powder, and paprika. Set aside.
- Place one piece of beef in the egg white to coat.
- Then place in the flour mixture, pressing the beef into flour to coat it completely.
- Place coated steak in the hot skillet. Continue with remaining cube steaks.
- Cook steaks until coating is a rich golden brown color.
- Remove steaks from the skillet and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Keep warm.
- Pour off any excess oil from the skillet.
- Add a pat of butter and diced yellow onions to the skillet. Cook until onions are soft, stirring often to prevent them from burning, about 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in 3-4 rounded tablespoons of seasoned flour.
- Slowly add milk and adobo seasoning. Stir until you have a smooth gravy and no lumps remain. If gravy gets too thick, thin with more milk or water if needed.
- Serve chicken fried steaks over a bed of mashed potatoes and cover with gravy.
- Top with a sprinkle of green onions to serve.
