Prepare two bowls: one with flour and one with buttermilk.

Take a round steak that has been cubed by the butcher to tenderize it.

Sprinkle the steak with house seasoning.

Dip the seasoned steak into the buttermilk, then into the flour for coating.

Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a deep fryer.

Fry the steak until golden brown, flipping gently to keep the crust intact.

Remove the steak and let it drain on paper towels.

In the same fryer, add a couple of tablespoons of flour to the leftover drippings to make gravy.

Add salt and coarse ground black pepper to the flour and drippings.

Pour in about a cup and a half of whole milk to the mixture and stir until combined.

Serve the chicken fried steak with gravy and garnish with green onions.
