Preparation

Step 1

In medium bowl, whisk egg, cumin, and rest of spices. Add steaks, stir to coat, and let sit 10 mins. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt/pepper (pinch). Remove steaks from egg mixture and dredge in flour mixture. Let sit another 10 mins.

In a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet, add 1 Tbls butter and 1 Tbls oil. Add steaks once butter/oil is hot and fry until golden on each side. Remove to serving platter and top with diced potato gravy.

Gravy: In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbls butter over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and saute until tender. Whisk in flour. Add bay leaf and broth and simmer until slightly thickened, then add potatoes. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 8-10 mins. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in remaining tablespoon of butter. Pour over steaks.
