Cajun Style Country Fried Pork Steaks

Submitted by Chef shapeweaver

"I got tired of the "same ole' country fried steak, and was looking through a TOH "country cooking" and found one that was contributed by Toni Holcomb. I changed a few things and here are the results. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your own tastes. I served this with mashed potatoes and green beans. The nutrition amounts include the total amounts of flour and milk mixture--you might not use all of the flour mixture to bread the meat and you might not use all the gravy.

I used pork chops instead of cube steak and 2% instead of evaporated milk. It was so yummy! I've never had buttermilk gravy before either. It was also very yummy. I used the powder buttermilk mix .

Delish!!! I had to use regular milk due to being out of the others but it worked ok and the recipe turned out great. Dh loved the flavor.

I made this for my family last night and we LOVED it. We are big fans of chicken fried steaks but this is a step up from them. The spices in this really does put them over the top for us. I had never made a buttermilk gravy before so I was a little leary about trying it.......never again, it too was great, yummy. I served this with recipe#66315 and recipe#177558 and recipe#29765 for a terrific meal. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us, its a keeper for sure.
