Ingredients:

• 4 cube steaks
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic granules
• 1 tsp MSG (optional)
• 1 cup buttermilk, divided
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup cracker crumbs
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup milk
• Additional salt, pepper, and garlic to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Steaks:

   • Season cube steaks with seasoned salt, salt, pepper, garlic, and MSG (if using), then set them aside for 15 minutes to marinate.

2. Coat the Steaks:

   • In a medium bowl or plastic bag, combine flour and the remainder of spices.
   • Pour 1/2 cup of buttermilk into a shallow bowl.
   • Place cracker crumbs in another medium bowl or plastic bag.
   • Coat each cube steak with the flour mixture, then dip it into the buttermilk, and finally coat it with cracker crumbs, pressing the crumbs gently to help them adhere.

3. Fry the Steaks:

   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Cook the coated steaks in the hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
   • Once cooked, remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain, while keeping them warm.

4. Make the Gravy:

   • Drain excess grease from the skillet, but retain the browned particles of breading.
   • Add the cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup of buttermilk or milk to the skillet, stirring to combine and break up the browned breading.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium.
   • Adjust the seasonings as desired with additional salt, pepper, and garlic.

5. Serve:

   • Serve the gravy alongside the country fried steaks, and enjoy this delicious homemade meal!
