Every once in awhile I crave good old fashion Southern food. This classic dish reminds me of my time spent in Texas and my family that remains there. It can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Pair it with eggs, biscuits, mashed potatoes or your favorite veggie sides just don't forget the country gravy! Not feeling steak? I use this same recipe on my Mama's fried chicken (note if you are frying chicken bone in you need to triple the fry time). Enjoy!
