  • 5 ounce Evaporated milk
  • 2 tablespoon Green Tabasco sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 cup All-purpose flour --
Directions
  1. 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. 2
    In a shallow bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, green Tabasco sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  3. 3
    Measure 1 cup of all-purpose flour into a separate shallow bowl for the first dredge.
  4. 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. 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. 6
    Place the coated steaks on a plate and let them rest for 10 minutes to allow the coating to set.
  7. 7
    Heat 1 to 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.

    Carefully add the steaks to the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, until deep golden brown and cooked through.

    Transfer the fried steaks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and keep warm.
  10. 10
    Pour off all but 6 tablespoons of the cooking fat from the skillet.
  11. 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. 12
    Whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes until the roux is bubbly and lightly browned.
  13. 13
    Gradually whisk in 2 1/2 cups of milk, ensuring no lumps form.
  14. 14
    Simmer the gravy, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes until it thickens to a smooth, creamy consistency.
  15. 15
    Season the gravy with additional salt and pepper to taste.
