Description

Crispy pan-fried steak smothered in rich, savory halal sausage gravy. A hearty Southern classic perfect for family dinners or comfort meals.


Ingredients

Scale

2 lb cube steak (about 4 pieces), pounded to ¼ inch thick
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
2 eggs
1 ½ cups milk
½ cup halal sausage (ground beef or plant-based as alternative)
2 tbsp onion (diced)
1 ½ cups milk (or more as needed)
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp flour (for thickening)


Instructions

Pat steak dry with paper towels. In a shallow bowl, mix flour, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Dip each steak into bowl to coat evenly, shaking off excess.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry steaks 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to plate.
In the same skillet, melt butter. Cook halal sausage and onions until browned and fragrant.
Stir in 1 tbsp flour and cook 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 1 ½ cups milk, stirring constantly until gravy thickens.
Return steaks to skillet. Simmer 2-3 minutes to heat through. Adjust seasoning as needed.


Notes

Use halal-certified sausage or substitute with ground beef or plant-based sausage for non-pork option.
For extra crispiness, double-dip steak in flour mixture.
Gravy consistency can be adjusted by adding up to ½ cup more milk.
Store leftovers in airtight container for up to 3 days.
