Steak and Gravy:
1 1/2 cups, plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 (4-ounce) tenderized beef round steak (have butcher run them through cubing machine)
1 teaspoon Paula Deen’s House Seasoning, recipe follows
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
2 cups buttermilk
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 quart whole milk
1/2 teaspoon monosodium glutamate (recommended: Ac’cent), optional
1 bunch green onions, or 1 medium yellow onion, sliced

Basic Biscuits:
1 package yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm water
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup solid shortening (recommended: Crisco)
2 cups buttermilk

Directions

Steak and Gravy:

Combine 1 1/2 cups flour and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle 1 side of the meat with the House Seasoning and the other side with the seasoning salt, and then dredge the meat in buttermilk and then flour. Heat 1/2 cup oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 or 4 of the steaks to the hot oil and fry until browned, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove each steak to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining steaks, adding up to 1/4 cup more oil, as needed.

Make the gravy by adding the 2 tablespoons remaining flour to the pan drippings, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon. Stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the salt. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the flour is medium brown and the mixture is bubbly. Slowly add the whole milk and the Ac’cent, if using stirring constantly. Return the steaks to the skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, and place the onions on top of the steaks. Cover the pan, and let simmer for 30 minutes.

Biscuits:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Dissolve yeast in warm water; set aside. Mix dry ingredients together. Cut in shortening. Add yeast and buttermilk and mix well. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and roll out to desired thickness. Cut with small biscuit cutter and place on greased baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Split biscuits in half and top with country fried steak and drizzle with gravy.

I used smoked sausage instead. It was good but hard to keep lit.

OMG - this is out of this world!i didn't have paula's seasoning, so i substituted it with emeril's. however, i did place an order for paula's seasoning today and really look forward to getting it.my new hubby loves-loves-loves the cookin...especially the recipes from paula deen! i also recently made the grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich and the stuffed peanut butter/banana french toast for him...both big hits! a must try is the baked french toast with the praline topping - to die for! hint - i always turn the bread over right before i bake it and i also pour some of the liquid out (suppose you could just decrease the amount from the start). it just came out too soggy before.

I love watching your shows and getting new ideas for cooking. I am 51 yrs old and on disability but love to cook the southern way. I was watching your show thursday 3/17/11. The steak and gravy sounds wonderful. I would love to have another Iron pan in my kitchen, But have never seen one like you used for your Biscuits. Where did you find this product and is it affordable. Thank you for all the wonderful Ideas and recipes you share with food lovers like me. And thank you for your response, Gail Collins.

Thank you Mrs. Paula Dean for having REAL food that people can make at home. Sincerly, Dianna

Biscuits taste kinda bland because they are yeast biscuits--thats a lot of yeast in them--I think I will stick with my self rising flour or else just use half the flour this recipe calls for like 2 1/2 cups of plain flour might do better

The cast iron pan Paula uses on her FN shows for biscuits is her grandmother's hoecake pan. She sells a replica here: http://www.pauladeenstore.com/Product/detail/Paula-Deen-i-Signature-Cast-Iron-i-11-in-Hoecake-Pan/137324 It works great for biscuits, pancakes etc.. Happy Cooking!

Wonderful recipes. I just ordered the cast iron grill on Paula's website at food tv, was wondering if someone can tell me where she bought the actual cast iron pan for the biscuits for the show? Love the look of it, can't seem to find one exactly like it. Thanks for any help.
