Ingredients
For the steaks:
- 4 steak cubes
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 4-5 cups of oil for frying
For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots or onions
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups chicken or beef broth
- pinch cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: ground pepper and parsley for garnish
Instructions
For the steaks:
- In a large bowl, whip the buttermilk, eggs, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, pepper and cayenne pepper.
- Submerge the steaks in buttermilk and marinate for at least 1 hour. (2 hours preferably.)
- Dip the steaks, one at a time, in the seasoned flour mixture coating each side, then again in the marinade, then again in the seasoned flour and finally place on a baking sheet. Place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Add the oil to the skillet or cast iron skillet and heat the oven over medium-high heat. Also preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
- Once the oil is hot and ready, fry each steak on each side until golden. Drain on paper towels, then place the steaks on baking sheets covered with parchment paper and put in the oven while you make the sauce.
For the sauce:
- Add 1/4 cup frying oil to a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the shallots or onions and garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring.
- Then add the flour and cook, creating a roux (think of a delicious light brown color). Cook until golden brown (but not burnt).
- Stir in milk and broth and heat over high heat until boiling, then reduce heat to medium-low and let thicken until it covers the back of a spoon.
- Turn off the heat and pour the sauce over the top of the steaks. Sprinkle with ground pepper and parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes if you prefer.
