Here in the Ozarks, country-fried steak is a staple. This cubed steak recipe is wonderful served with mashed potatoes and some freshly baked rolls. I developed the recipe to meet the spicy tastes of my family—our six children range from 26 to 14.—Toni Holcomb, Rogersville, Missouri

Ingredients

2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups buttermilk

Drain, reserving 1/3 cup drippings in the skillet; stir remaining flour into drippings until smooth. Cook and stir over medium heat for 5 minutes or until golden brown.
