QUICK COUNTRY-FRIED STEAK



Quick Country-Fried Steak image

That delicious old-country taste right at home. Always a big hit. Whip up some mashed potatoes and even some peas and carrots and you've got a whole meal ready to go! Amount of left-over mixture depends on how evenly and how thoroughly you coat each steak. Tweaking and experimenting will be required to nail down a better proportion ratio so that there is less mix left over.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality beef steak. Look for a steak that is at least 1 inch thick, with good marbling.
  • To make sure the steak is cooked evenly, tenderize it before cooking. You can do this by pounding it with a meat mallet or by using a meat tenderizer.
  • When you're breading the steak, make sure to coat it evenly on all sides. This will help it to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the steak over medium heat. This will help it to cook through without burning.
  • To make sure the steak is cooked to your liking, use a meat thermometer. The steak is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Serve the steak immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides include mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, and corn.
