Ingredients
 
 

  • olive oil
  • 2 cubed steaks aka tenderized steaks
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups heavy cream devided 1 for breading 1 for the gravy
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs or almond flour for gluten free
  • 2 tbsp. corn starch might be needed for thickening the gravy

Instructions
 

  • First take your cube steaks out of the fridge and let them get closer to room temperature while you get the the breading stuff ready.
  • Put a skillet on at medium and add enough olive oil to get about 1/8 inch deep.
    In one bowl put the bread crumbs, salt, pepper and the powdered garlic. Stir it up. And in another put the egg and 1/2 of the milk or heavy cream. Whisk it together.
  •  First put a steak in the crumbs and gently press it into the crumbs. Do both sides. Then dip it into the egg mixture getting both sides coated then back to the crumbs. Both sides and into the skillet. Do all that with the rest of the steaks.
  • Cook about 3-5 minutes a side depending on the thickness. When the bread crumb coating gets crispy remove the steaks to dish and put the dish on an idle back burner or into the oven set to just keep them warm, about 200°F.
  • Put the rest of the milk (or heavy cream) into the skillet and stir it around getting all of the crumbs left from the steaks mixed in to the milk. If it doesn't get thick enough whisk the cornstarch into a little water and slowly whisk it into the milk in small doses. Cornstarch will thicken pretty quickly so after each time that you add some whisk it into to all of the cream. Then if it needs more do it again.
  • Put the steaks on your serving dishes and top them with some of the gravy.
