CHICKEN-FRIED STEAK WITH CREAM



Chicken-Fried Steak With Cream image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 beef cube steaks (1 1/2 to 2 pounds total)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
Vegetable oil, for frying
Sliced scallions, for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the gravy: Melt the butter with the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, whisking, until smooth and deep golden brown, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and simmer, whisking to remove any lumps, until the gravy thickens, 4 to 6 minutes. Add 2 to 3 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Cover and remove from the heat.
  • Make the steak: Place the steaks between 2 pieces of heavy-duty plastic wrap and pound to 1/8 inch thick with a mallet or heavy skillet. Season generously with salt and pepper. Whisk the flour, baking powder and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, whisk the milk and eggs. One at a time, dredge each steak in the flour mixture, dip in the egg mixture, then return to the flour mixture, pressing firmly to coat. Transfer the breaded steaks to a rack.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Set another rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. One at a time, fry the steaks until golden brown, turning once, about 5 minutes (return the oil to 350 degrees F between each steak). Transfer the finished steaks to the rack on the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you make the rest.
  • Meanwhile, reheat the gravy. Stir in some water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the gravy is too thick. Drizzle the fried steak with the gravy and top with scallions.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH GRAVY



Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 pounds cube steak (tenderized round steak that's been extra tenderized)
Kosher salt
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 to 4 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Mashed potatoes, for serving

Steps:

  • For the steak: Begin with setting up an assembly line of dishes. Mix the milk with the eggs in one; the flour mixed with the seasoned salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, paprika and cayenne in another; and the meat in a third. Then have one clean plate at the end to receive the breaded meat.
  • Work with one piece of meat at a time. Sprinkle both sides with kosher salt and black pepper, then place it in the flour mixture. Turn to coat. Place the meat into the milk/egg mixture, turning to coat. Finally, place it back in the flour and turn to coat (dry mixture/wet mixture/dry mixture). Place the breaded meat on the clean plate, then repeat with the remaining meat.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter. Drop in a few sprinkles of flour to make sure it's sufficiently hot. When the butter sizzles immediately, you know it's ready. (It should not brown right away, if it does, the fire is too hot.) Cook the meat, 3 pieces at a time, until the edges start to look golden brown, about 2 minutes each side. Remove the meat to a paper towel-lined plate and keep them warm by covering lightly with another plate or a sheet of foil. Repeat until all the meat is cooked.
  • After all the meat is fried, pour off the grease into a heatproof bowl. Without cleaning the skillet, return it to the stove over medium-low heat. Add 1/4 cup of the grease back to the skillet and allow it to heat up.
  • For the gravy: When the grease is hot, sprinkle the flour evenly over the grease. Using a whisk, mix the flour with the grease, creating a golden-brown paste. Add more flour if it looks overly greasy; add a little more grease if it becomes too pasty/clumpy. Keep cooking until the roux reaches a deep golden brown color.
  • Pour in the milk, whisking constantly. Add the seasoned salt and black pepper to taste and cook, whisking, until the gravy is smooth and thick, 5 to 10 minutes. Be prepared to add more milk if it becomes overly thick. Be sure to taste to make sure gravy is sufficiently seasoned.
  • Serve the meat next to a big side of mashed potatoes. Pour gravy over the whole shebang!

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK



Chicken Fried Steak image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 eggs
2 cups milk, at room temperature
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons meat seasoning
2 cups frying oil, preferably Canola
8 (6-ounce) tenderized beef cutlets at room temperature (or tenderized center cut boneless pork chop, or tenderized boneless chicken breasts)
Mashed potatoes, recipe follows
1 pound baking potatoes, like russets, peeled and cut in quarters
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) butter
2 cups half-and-half or 1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl and set this egg wash aside. Combine the flour and meat seasoning in another bowl and set aside. Heat the oil in a heavy 14-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees. Use a deep frying thermometer to check temperature. The oil should pop loudly when a drop of egg is dropped in. Dip each of the first 4 cutlets in the egg wash mixture. Dredge them in the flour, then dip them back into the egg wash, and very gently place them in the hot oil. As you carry them 1 at a time from the egg wash to the skillet, hold a plate under them to catch the dripping egg wash. There'll be a regular explosion of noisy oil popping. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until breading is set and golden brown. Gently turn them with a long handled meat fork or long metal tongs. Be careful. Cook another 3 minutes. Carefully remove them from the skillet and drain on a platter lined with paper towels. Let oil reheat and repeat process for other 4 cutlets.
  • Boil potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with butter, half-and-half, salt and pepper. Beat until smooth. Serve with cream, brown or giblet gravy.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH GRAVY

Provided by Patrick and Gina Neely : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup vegetable oil
6 (4-ounces each) cube steaks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
4 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups whole milk
Chopped parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a medium-high skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil. Cook's Note: Oil is heated when you drop a little flour in and the oil spits.
  • Pound out the cube steaks with a meat mallet until they are 1/4 to 1/2-inches thick. Salt and pepper both sides. Mix the flour, cayenne and paprika together in a bowl. Beat the eggs in another bowl. Dredge the steaks through the flour, then egg mixture, then through the flour again.
  • Place the steak carefully in the pan as the oil will splatter. Cook until golden brown, about 4 to 6 minutes on each side. When finished, place on a sheet tray lined with paper towels, hold in a warm oven and repeat the procedure with the other pieces of steak.
  • When all steaks have been cooked off, pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the cooking oil and lower heat. Add 3 tablespoons of the leftover flour mixture to the oil and whisk to create a paste. Cook until golden, about 1 minute. Gradually add the milk to the flour and oil mixture while whisking together. Season the gravy with salt and pepper, to taste. Let cook until thickened; about 10 minutes. Pour gravy over the steak to finish and garnish with parsley.

6 (4 ounce) cube steaks
1 cup peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste

⅔ cup finely diced onion
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
2 (4.5 ounce) cans sliced mushrooms with juice
½ (10.75 ounce) can water, or as needed

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH GRAVY



Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy image

A misleading name, as chicken is in no way, shape, or form involved. Deep-fried steak covered in a combination brown and white gravy. Best with some eggs and hash browns.

Provided by Brian Genest

Categories     Beef Steaks

Time 2h10m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 31

3 (8 ounce) beef eye of round steaks
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
5 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot ®)
1 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 ½ tablespoons garlic powder
1 ½ tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 tablespoon ground ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground chipotle powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground sage
½ teaspoon ground mustard powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 quart peanut oil for frying, or as needed
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups beef broth
¼ cup heavy cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Trim fat caps off steaks. Rub steaks with salt, then Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. Let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Transfer one steak to a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound the steak until it is about half the original thickness and twice the original area. Repeat with remaining two steaks.
  • Place 2 cups flour in a shallow bowl. Whisk buttermilk, eggs, and hot sauce together in a second bowl. Combine remaining 3 cups flour, bread crumbs, baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, Cajun seasoning, sea salt, chile seasoning, black pepper, thyme, oregano, sweet paprika, chipotle powder, cumin, sage, mustard powder, and cayenne pepper in a third, large bowl.
  • Dunk each piece of steak in the plain flour, then in the egg wash, and then in the breading, making sure it gets completely coated in each step. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate for 1 hour; this is crucial and ensures the breading will adhere to the meat.
  • When ready to cook, prepare gravy: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk beef broth into the flour mixture, then gradually whisk in cream, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, to let it further thicken. Keep warm as you cook the steaks.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Drop steaks into the hot oil and fry until breading is crisp and golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Serve hot steaks with gravy.

THE BEST CHICKEN FRIED STEAK



The Best Chicken Fried Steak image

I received this recipe from a co-worker about 5 years ago. This is by far the best chicken fried steak I've ever had. I've made this numerous times for my picky eater son and my southern-raised better half, as well as other family and friends. I get nothing but rave reviews each time.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Beef     Steaks

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (1/2 pound) beef cube steaks
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon black pepper
¾ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups buttermilk
1 egg
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™)
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups vegetable shortening for deep frying
¼ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups milk
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Pound the steaks to about 1/4-inch thickness. Place 2 cups of flour in a shallow bowl. Stir together the baking powder, baking soda, pepper, and salt in a separate shallow bowl; stir in the buttermilk, egg, Tabasco Sauce, and garlic. Dredge each steak first in the flour, then in the batter, and again in the flour. Pat the flour onto the surface of each steak so they are completely coated with dry flour.
  • Heat the shortening in a deep cast-iron skillet to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Fry the steaks until evenly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Place fried steaks on a plate with paper towels to drain. Drain the fat from the skillet, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid and as much of the solid remnants as possible.
  • Return the skillet to medium-low heat with the reserved oil. Whisk the remaining flour into the oil. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a spatula to release solids into the gravy. Stir in the milk, raise the heat to medium, and bring the gravy to a simmer, cook until thick, 6 to 7 minutes. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Spoon the gravy over the steaks to serve.

2 pounds beef bottom round ((with excess fat trimmed off))
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 cup flour
3 eggs (beaten)
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
¼ cup flour
2 cups chicken broth
½ cup whole milk
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.

Once tenderized, dredge the meat again in the flour, followed by the egg and finally in the flour again. Repeat with all the pieces of meat. Place the meat onto a plate and allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking.

Once the oil begins to simmer, add the meat in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each piece on both sides until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a baking sheet or pan and place into the oven. Repeat until all of the meat is browned.
