Ingredients

Directions

  1. Trim the round steak and pound it to an even 1/2-inch thickness, then cut into 6 to 8 serving-sized pieces.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, green Tabasco sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Measure 1 cup of all-purpose flour into a separate shallow bowl for the first dredge.
  4. In a third bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup of flour with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and cracked black pepper to create the seasoned coating.
  5. Dredge each steak piece first in the plain flour, then dip into the milk mixture, and finally coat thoroughly in the seasoned flour.
  6. Place the coated steaks on a plate and let them rest for 10 minutes to allow the coating to set.
  7. Heat 1 to 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
  8. Carefully add the steaks to the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, until deep golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Transfer the fried steaks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and keep warm.
  10. Pour off all but 6 tablespoons of the cooking fat from the skillet.
  11. Reduce heat to medium and stir 6 tablespoons of flour (using any leftover seasoned flour) into the hot fat to make a roux.
  12. Whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes until the roux is bubbly and lightly browned.
  13. Gradually whisk in 2 1/2 cups of milk, ensuring no lumps form.
  14. Simmer the gravy, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes until it thickens to a smooth, creamy consistency.
  15. Season the gravy with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  16. Serve the hot steaks immediately, smothered in the warm cream gravy.
