1 cup flour
Salt and pepper
Cooking oil for frying
Gravy:
4 tablespoons pan drippings
2 to 3 tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper

Steak: Pour cooking oil in a large skillet so it is 1 1/2 inches deep and start heating it. Mix flour, salt, and pepper into a shallow dish. Pour buttermilk into a different shallow dish. Coat each piece of steak in flour, buttermilk, then flour again. Place coated steak in hot oil. Cover and cook about 6 to 8 minutes per side or until golden brown. Reduce heat. Continue cooking uncovered until juice runs clear when pierced with a fork.
Gravy: Heat drippings, stir in flour and continue stirring as you slowly add milk. Keep stirring until gravy thickens. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve over steaks or biscuits.
