Ingredients
2 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
1 3/4 teaspoons black pepper, divided
4 (4-ounce) cube steaks
38 saltine crackers (1 sleeve), crushed
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
4 3/4 cups milk, divided
2 large eggs
3 1/2 cups peanut oil
Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper evenly over steaks. Combine cracker crumbs, 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, red pepper, and baking powder. Whisk together 3/4 cup milk and eggs. Dredge steaks in cracker mixture; dip in milk mixture, and dredge again in cracker mixture.
Pour oil into a 12-inch skillet; heat to 360°. (Do not use a nonstick skillet.) Fry steaks 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and fry 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove steaks to a wire rack in a jelly-roll pan. Keep steaks warm in a 225° oven. Carefully drain hot oil, reserving cooked bits and 1 tablespoon drippings in skillet.
Whisk together remaining 4 cups milk, 1/4 cup flour, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1 teaspoon black pepper. Add milk mixture to reserved drippings in skillet; cook, whisking constantly, over medium-high heat 10 to 12 minutes or until thickened. Serve gravy with steaks. Garnish, if desired.
注释:
1. 我只用了一半的量, 所有原料减半.
2. cube steak是top round 的牛肉, 比较硬. 如果自己买top round, 可以切成一厘米左右的大厚片, 用刀背沿相互垂直的两个方向拍到面积是原来的两倍就可以了, 类似我们做炸猪排的方法. (市场也有卖猪肉的cube steak)
3. 不用cracker, 直接用面包渣, 或者油炸粉也可以, 我用的日本面包粉,做天妇罗的那种.
4. 做gravy的时候面粉最好筛进去, 否则成疙瘩就很难弄散.
