Chicken Fried Steak with Sausage Gravy

Serves 4

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Whisk together all ingredients for flour mixture. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup buttermilk and 2 eggs. Pat steaks dry with paper towels and dip into seasoned flour mixture, then egg mixture, then flour mixture again.
2. Add about 1/4 inch of oil to a large, heavy bottomed frying pan and place over medium-high heat until the oil hits 375 degrees F. Add the steaks and fry until you see the edges become golden brown. Brown other side; transfer them to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and place them in the oven to keep warm while you make the gravy.
3. Brown pork sausage and onion in steak pan; drain off all but 2 Tbsp. of oil from skillet, leaving the browned bits in the pan. Add 2 tablespoons of the dredging flour mixture and gravy mix and stir well. Whisk in the milk until smooth and bring to a boil; add the poultry seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. Thin with more milk if necessary. Plate steaks and ladle gravy over the top; garnish with chives and serve with warm biscuits.
