Country Fried Steak in an Air Fryer with Homemade Gravy

Components

Regarding the steaks:

1. One cup of all-purpose flour and four cubed steaks
2. Two teaspoons of powdered garlic
3. One teaspoon of powdered onion
4.  One teaspoon of paprika smoked
5. One teaspoon of salt
6. One-sixth teaspoon of black pepper
7. Half a cup of buttermilk
8. One huge egg
9. One teaspoon of hot sauce is optional, but it’s a great way to enhance flavour! I made advantage of Louisiana.

Regarding the gravy

• Four teaspoons of salted butter
• A quarter cup of all-purpose flour
• Two cups of whole milk
• -black pepper and salt, to taste

How to proceed:

• Turn the air fryer on to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Mix the flour, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow basin.
• Whisk the egg, buttermilk, and spicy sauce (if using) in a different shallow bowl.
• Dredge each steak in the buttermilk mixture after dipping it in the flour mixture, making careful to coat it well and shaking off any leftover flour.
• Put about two steaks in the basket (don’t pack them up too tightly) and mist with olive oil spray. Cook for another 6 to 8 minutes after flipping and spraying. Watch them closely!

Preparing the gravy 

• In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
• Then mix in the melted butter and flour. To get rid of any lumps, whisk really thoroughly.
• To eliminate the taste of raw flour, cook for approximately three minutes, whisking occasionally to prevent burning.
• Whisk as you gradually add the milk, about half a cup at a time. Continue doing this in batches until all of the milk has been used. Whisking while cooking, simmer the gravy for approximately five to seven minutes until it thickens.
• Add salt and pepper to the gravy, tasting as you go to ensure the gravy is the right amount of seasoning. After taking off the heat, serve
