Directions
-
Cut the steak into four equal portions.
-
Pound the portions, if needed, until each is about 1/3 to 1/4 inch thick.
-
Arrange the steaks in a shallow non-reactive dish, and pour 1 cup of the jalapeno liquid over them.
-
Marinate the steaks in the jalapeno liquid for 2 hours.
-
Drain and blot lightly to remove excess moisture from the surface.
-
Mix an additional 2 tablespoons jalapeno liquid with the egg in a shallow dish.
-
Stir together the flour, salt and pepper in another dish.
-
Dredge the steak in the flour, then dip it in the egg, and back in the flour.
-
Put enough shortening into a cast iron skillet so that the steaks will be half-immersed in it during the frying.
-
Warm the fat over medium heat.
-
Add carefully, turn once, until the meat is fully cooked through and the crumb coating is brown and crisp, about 8 minutes total.
-
Drain the steaks, and transfer them to a platter.
-
Keep them warm while you prepare Cream Gravy from the drippings.

Note
Most of the marinade liquid will be absorbed into the steaks during the 2-hour marination.
Serve the fried steaks on separate plates with a side of French fries and cover generously with the prepared cream gravy.
Ensure the cast iron skillet is hot enough before adding the steaks to achieve a crisp crust.
