HARDY BOYZ’ CHICKEN-FRIED STREAK
“North Carolina natives Matt and Jeff Hardy lost their mom when they were boys, so these two highflyers learned to cook and sew as youngsters. This dish is in the meat eaters’ Hall of Fame, and, ladies, it is indeed the way to a good old boy’s heart. Fellas, if your lady can make a main-event chicken-fried steak, you’re in luck. And if she can make cream gravy to drown it in, you might want to consider a long-term relationship!”
STEAK:
¾ cup flour
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste
1 ½ pounds (4 ½ -inch thick) rib-eye steaks
1 large egg, beaten
¼ cup cooking oil
GRAVY:
3 tablespoons drippings
1 ¼ cup milk
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper, or to taste
1. To make the steak, in a medium bowl, combine the flour, paprika, salt, pepper
and seasoned salt.
2. If necessary, hammer the meat with a meat tenderizer to thin and tenderize
it. Dip the steaks first in the egg and then in the flour mixture, coating them
thoroughly.
3. In a 12-inch skillet, brown the meat in hot oil, turning once. Cover and
cook over low heat for 40 minutes or until tender.
4. For the gravy, remove the meat from the oil and pour off all but 3 tablespoons
of the drippings. Add ¾ cup of milk, the flour, salt and pepper and stir
until well combined. Cook over medium-low heat until bubbly and thickened and
add the remaining ½ cup of milk. Cook 1 to 2 minutes more.
Makes 4 servings and 1 ¼ cup of gravy.
