Ingredients
Gravy:
5 strips bacon
6 links pork sausage, casings removed
8 ounces unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose seasoned flour
3 cups milk
Garlic powder
Hot sauce, such as Tabasco
Fresh thyme
Ground black and white pepper
Salt
Steak:
Vegetable oil
6 ounces steak, cubed
1 egg, beaten with a little milk for egg wash
1 cup all-purpose seasoned flour
Eggs and potatoes, for serving
Directions
- For the gravy: Fry the bacon until crispy, and then finely chop and set aside. Crumble the sausage and saute until cooked through, and then set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan, and then stir in the flour over medium heat. Add the milk slowly, stirring constantly, and cook until thick, 5 minutes. Stir in the bacon and sausage, and season with garlic, hot sauce, thyme, salt and white and black pepper. Keep warm.
- For the steak: Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet to 350 degrees F. Pound the meat with a meat tenderizer; it should be neither thick enough to be tough, or falling apart. Dip the steak cubes in the egg wash, followed by the flour.
- Fry the steak cubes until golden brown and crispy, and then drain excess oil. Place the steak on plates, dress with the gravy and serve with eggs and potatoes.
