- 4 (4 ounce) cube steaks

- In a shallow dish, mix flour with 1 teaspoon of the pepper. Dredge each steak in flour. Dip in beaten egg, then dredge in flour again.
- Heat lard in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry steaks 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

I made this with some local organic cuts of meat. My husband is a vegetarian, and I don't eat a lot of meat, and I cook it even less. I was surprised how great and easy this was to make for my first ever attempts at country fried steak. I made the gravy without the drippings and with butter so my husband could enjoy with biscuits. Yum!

This rating is actually just for the gravy in this recipe. I made some chicken fried chicken but the gravy recipe included with it turned out awful. So I had to scramble to find a substitute gravy recipe to serve with our chicken and potatoes. This was easy to make and tasted very good! I used 2 T. butter in place of the pan drippings, and it was fine that way. Cooked up quickly and saved our meal! Thanks!
