Aunt Merle's Chicken-Fried Steak

1. 1

   Combine the first 4 ingredients (the vinegar, sugar, salt and water) in a small bowl.

2. 2

   Dip each piece of steak in the water mixture.

3. 3

   Mix the 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the pepper with the flour.

4. 4

   Dredge each piece of steak in the seasoned flour and place in hot skillet with at least 1/4 inch deep oil.

5. 5

   Turn to medium heat and brown each side.

6. 6

   Each side is done when you can turn it and it will turn loose from the skillet and the brown stays intact (approximately 8-10 minutes).

7. 7

   Immediately transfer to platter lined with absorbent paper towels to soak up excess oil; cover with foil to keep warm while cooking rest of steaks and/or making milk gravy.
