Country Fried Steak With Caramelized Onion Gravy Recipe

In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, cook onion in 2 tablespoons of butter, stirring frequently, until soft and golden in color, about 30 minutes. Set aside.

Put 1/2 cup flour in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, put 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup of ​cornmeal and seasoned salt. In a third bowl, beat eggs.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt shortening. You should have about 1/4-inch of melted shortening.

Pound steaks to tenderize; dredge each steak in flour, dip in egg mixture, then dredge in the seasoned flour and cornmeal mixture.

Place in hot oil and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until done.

Remove steaks; keep warm.

Pour off the shortening; add 2 tablespoons of butter and cooked onions. Stir until butter has melted; add flour. Stir flour and onion mixture until smooth; continue cooking for about 1 minute.

Add 1 1/2 cups of milk gradually, stirring constantly. Continue cooking until mixture has thickened. If gravy is thick, add more milk. Sprinkle with about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon bouillon granules or a little beef base, then taste before seasoning with salt and pepper.

Serve with mashed potatoes or rice.
