Steak
Cube steak is already tenderized. A thick steak stays tough.
Oil
Shallow, not a deep fryer.
Gravy
Milk, pepper, and the pan fat. It should coat a spoon.
Rest
One minute on a rack so the crust stays crisp under the gravy.

About 320 calories per serving. Estimate only, not a lab test.
FAQ
Oven?
You can finish them at 350°F if the crust browns first. The fry is what makes the crust.
Gluten free?
This crust is wheat flour.
Storage
Fridge, 2 days. The crust softens. Re-crisp in a skillet before the gravy.
Pepper
A full teaspoon. A shy gravy tastes like plain milk.
