Recently I was admiring the blog of a friend, Grannyloohoo. Grumpy was sitting there with me on the couch admiring her peach pie on her new blog that she had posted. I went in to make a comment on her pie and Grumpy tells me, make sure you tell her it looks "scrumpdillyumptious!" Then he proceeded to tell me I needed to make something "scrumpdillyumptious" myself. I looked at him and said, "You've got to be kidding me!" I mean, the thoughts going through my head were, what is wrong with you? LOL. I've been cooking my behind off lately! So I said, just what is scrumpdillyumptious that I haven't made lately? You see, he had to be very careful here.....if he wanted to continue eating in his future....at our home anyway! I think he got the hint because he said, he would like me to make a savory dish. LOL
So, I decided that since not so long ago he mentioned I hadn't made contry fried steak in a long while, that I would do just that for dinner the first chance I had. I made a special stop at the grocery on my way home from work yesterday and bought some cube steak. Fortunately, that wasn't sky rocketed in price and I was able to spend only $5 (on the meat only!) to fix his dinner. I serve this with homemade mashed potatoes (mashed with a little butter and sour cream). Here is how you can do it too:
Country Fried Steak with Mushroom Gravy
from Cooking Light
3 tablespoons fat-free milk
2 large egg whites
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 (4-ounce) sirloin cubed steaks
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Gravy:
1 1/3 cups fat-free milk
2 cups mushrooms, quartered
2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (14-ounce) can fat-free, low-salt beef broth
Combine 3 tablespoons milk and egg whites in a shallow dish, stirring with a whisk. Combine 1/3 cup flour and next 4 ingredients (1/3 cup flour through pepper) in a shallow dish. Working with 1 steak at a time, dip in egg mixture; dredge in flour mixture. Repeat procedure with remaining steaks, egg mixture, and flour mixture.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove steaks from pan; keep warm.
Add mushrooms to pan; sauté 3 minutes. Combine 2 1/2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and broth, stirring with a whisk. Add broth mixture to pan. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Spoon over steaks. Serve with mashed potatoes.
I have never made country fried steak and it's a Cooking Light recipe - I'll have to give it a try. I'd definitely say it looks scrumpdillyumptious!
ReplyDeleteSteak and mushrooms are two of my favorite things and this looks really good!
ReplyDeleteHa! That's hilarious and that does look scrumpdillyumptious...you should copyright that phrase.
ReplyDeleteI also love steak and mushrooms - yummy. BTW, I've tagged you! Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteHaha, the scrumpdillyumptious is too funny. All those mushrooms look so yummy...I could smother everything in mushroom gravy.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about making something similar to this tonight but it's really hot in here :( Your version looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI had absolutely no idea country fried steak could be low fat! Great work :)
ReplyDeleteI never met a country fried steak that I didn't love. But your version looks as good as those babies I enjoyed in Arkansas.
ReplyDeleteGood job.

ReplyDeleteI gawked.
And I drooled.

Congratulations for making it onto Tastespotting!
ReplyDeleteThis totally speaks to me. This is my kind of food. I bet Grumpy was over the moon happy to have this meal especially made for him. Great job.
ReplyDeleteYay, I've been out of the loop for a while & I've finally caught up with ALL of your posts. Sorry for the absence. You're such a dear & I missed you.

Although I don't eat meat - my mouth is watering from looking at that picture. I love fried mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteOh man that looks so good! I have been craving what I consider winter type foods lately - weird I know - and this SO works.
ReplyDeleteThat looks really great! I am always on the hunt for lighter dinners!
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteHoneyB, tell Grumpy "thank you" for me!

Country Fried Steak with Cream Gravy and mashed potatoes was always a popular menu item on our rotation specials menu. Sold out every time too!
ReplyDeleteThis Cooking Light version looks like a very good way to enjoy the same with a healthier bent!
Bon appetit!

Extra mushrooms for me:)
ReplyDeleteThis is comfort! I could happily eat that mushroom gravy with a spoon.
ReplyDeleteI can see why he would love this one!! Looks awesome with that mushroom sauce :)
ReplyDeleteNom Nom...looks finger licking good. I like Grumpy. He's got good taste!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking at this just before bedtime and suddenly I am starving. I need a big ol plate of this immediately!
