Amish Wedding Steak
Ingredients:
For the Steak Marinade:
2 lbs round steak, tenderized and cut into serving-size pieces
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce Salt and pepper to taste
For the Coating:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
For Frying: Vegetable oil for frying
For the Gravy:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups beef broth Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Step 1: Marinate the Steak:
- In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Place the tenderized round steak pieces into the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Step 2: Prepare the Coating:
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 3: Coat the Steak:
- Remove the marinated steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
- Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Step 4: Fry the Steak:
- In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Fry the coated steak pieces in batches until they are golden brown on both sides. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer the fried steak to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 5: Make the Gravy:
- Pour off most of the oil from the skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoons.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of flour into the skillet, stirring continuously to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth until the mixture thickens and becomes a smooth gravy.
- Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6: Serve:
- Pour the gravy over the fried Amish Wedding Steak and serve hot.
Tips:
- Serve the Amish Wedding Steak with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles for a classic and comforting meal.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and added freshness.
