  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup water

For the Gravy

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour

  • Preheat your air fryer to 370 degrees.
  • Remove the cube steaks from the fridge and place them on a cutting board.
  • In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • In a second bowl, combine the egg and water and whisk.
  • Take each portion of the cube steak and dip it into the flour mixture, the egg mixture, then back into the flour mixture making sure it is fully coated.
