- 2 teaspoons black pepper

- When the steaks are done frying place them on the wire rack to drain.
For the Gravy
- Heat a medium-large skillet on medium heat and add the butter to melt.
- Whisk in the flour and whisk until smooth, cook another minute.
- Whisk in the milk, bring to a low simmer, just until thickened.
- Add salt and pepper more to taste if needed.
Notes
You can make your own buttermilk by mixing 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or white vinegar with the milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.
You just want to use enough oil to come halfway up the steak while frying.
Add hot sauce to the buttermilk for a spicy kick!
Don't overcrowd the steaks in the skillet. Fry in batches if necessary.
