Country Fried Steak With Extra Thick Gravy

• 1 lb cube steak, thawed
• 1 cup olive oil (for frying)
• 1 cup flour
• 2 cups water
• 2 cups skim milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. On stove, heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet.
3. Cook cube steak in oil, turning once, until brown (be careful not to overcook it or it will be too tough).
4. Remove cube steak from skillet, leaving leftover oil in skillet for gravy.
5. Add flour to hot oil and stir to brown for 3-5 minutes. It will probably clump up but that is OK, it will disentigrate in the next step.
6. Reduce heat to medium low and add water, milk, salt, and pepper to skillet. Stir continuously until a smooth gravy forms.
7. Put cube steak back into skillet with gravy and cover with foil.
8. Cook in oven, covered, for 45 minutes or until gravy is thickened. Let cool for 5 minutes and enjoy your meal!
