Tips for Perfect Country Fried Steak
Don’t skip the double dredge – it gives you that signature crispy crust.
Let the steak rest after dredging to help the coating stick.
Use freshly cracked black pepper in the gravy for authentic Southern flavor.
Cube steak is traditional, but you can also tenderize sirloin or round steak if you prefer.
