Ingredients
Steak2 cups pretzels 2 eggs 1 cup 1% milk 1 cup flour 3 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 teaspoons paprika 2 teaspoons ground coriander 1 teaspoon ground cumin 6 cube steaks Mango-Onion Gravy: 1 tablespoon butter 1 small onion, minced (about 1/3 cup) Kosher salt 2 cups chicken or beef stock 2 tablespoons sweet mango chutney 1 teaspoon soy sauce Vegetable oil, for frying *available at Indian stores or online
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
For the steaks:
-Smash up the pretzels in a food processor or do what we do and use the slap chop! :o)
-In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk
-In another, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, *dried fenugreek leaves, paprika, ground coriander, and ground cumin. (Save 2 tbsps of the flavored flour for the gravy)
-Pour pretzel crumbs into a third bowl.
Make yourself an assembly line:
-Dip 1 steak on both sides in the flavored flour, making sure it's well coated, but dust off the excess.
-Dip it quickly in the egg and lift, allowing the excess to drain back into the bowl.
-Dunk both sides in the pretzel crumbs.
-Place the coated steaks on a sheet tray fitted with a cooling rack and let the steaks rest for 15 minutes to let the coating adhere to the meat.
For the gravy:
-Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat
-Add the onions and a pinch of salt.
-Allow the onions to cook until they are translucent and softened.
-Add the reserved 2 tablespoons of flavored flour and cook a few minutes until the flour no longer smells raw.
-Add the stock, mango chutney, and soy sauce.
-Stir, so that no lumps form, and bring to a boil.
-Cook until the sauce thickens to a gravy consistency, 5 to 10 minutes.
-Taste and re-season, if necessary.
-In a large cast iron skillet, add enough oil to come up the sides by 1-inch.
-Heat it over medium heat until shimmering; you'll know the oil is hot enough when a pinch of flour sizzles upon contact with the oil.
-Line a sheet tray with paper towels and place a cooling rack on top.
-Gently lay the steaks into the oil; you may have to do this in batches.
-Cook each side until golden, about 3 minutes.
-When both sides are cooked, lay the steaks on the paper towel-lined sheet tray and pop into the oven to keep warm while you do the next batch.
Serve the steaks with gravy spooned over the top.
