Ingredients
- 48 ounces tenderized beef cutlets 6 cutlets
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups milk at room temperature
- 3 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons Threadgill's Meat Seasoning
- 2 cups frying oil -- preferably canola
Instructions
- Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl and set the egg wash aside. Combine the flour and meat seasoning in another bowl and set aside. Heat the oil in a heavy 14-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F. Use a 550 degree thermometer to check temperature. The oil should pop loudly when a drop of egg wash is dropped in. Dip each of the first 4 cutlets in the egg wash mixture.
- Dredge them in the flour, then dip them back into the egg wash, and very gently place them in the hot oil. As you carry them one at a time from the egg wash to the skillet, hold a plate under them to catch the dripping egg wash. There'll be a regular explosion of noisy oil a-popping when you place the cutlets into the oil. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until breading is set and golden brown. Gently turn them with a long-handled meat fork or long metal tongs. Be careful. Cook another 3 minutes. Carefully remove them from the skillet and drain on a platter lined with paper towels. Let oil reheat and repeat process for other 4 cutlets.

Where can I find the recipe for the gravy?

I have tried this recipe in some form or another for years but can’t get a good cut of meat and it feels like a chew toy any suggestions for meats ? I usually used cubed steak.
Yolanda Mohrbacher Zimmer
I use cubed steak also, because it is already tenderized. If I use round steak, I have to pound it to tenderize it and it is just too messy for me. The cubed steaks are not tough and chewy.

I made this chicken fried steak for my husband as well and he liked it! I used the Threadgill’s Meat Seasoning. It came out wonderful!
