CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH CREAM GRAVY



Chicken Fried Steak with Cream Gravy image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Vegetable oil, for frying
36 ounces round steak
2 eggs
2 cups milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 cup canola oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 quart whole milk

Steps:

  • To make Chicken Fried Steak: Heat a deep, heavy skillet with at least 1/2-inch of oil to 340 degrees F. Alternatively, heat oil in a deep fryer to 340 degrees F.
  • Cut steak into 1/2-inch thick slices to make 6 (6-ounce) portions and remove any fat or gristle. Pound it with the coarse side of a tenderizing mallet until it is double in size and half as thick. In a shallow bowl, make an egg wash by combining the eggs and milk. In another shallow bowl or pan, make a seasoned breading by combining the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the steak in the seasoned flour, dip it in the egg wash, and then return it to the flour and push the flour into the steak with your fingers so that there are no moist spots. Immediately slide the steak into the hot oil, in batches as necessary to prevent overcrowding, and fry on 1 side until golden and crispy; then turn over and cook the rest of the way. The steaks are done when you lift them with a pair of tongs and they are stiff, not floppy. Keep warm while making the gravy.
  • To make Cream Gravy: Mix the canola oil and flour in a saucepan and cook this roux over medium heat until it looks grainy and becomes slightly golden in color, just a couple of minutes. Remove from heat. Add pepper and salt and mix well. Add milk, return the pan to the heat, and increase heat to high. Whisk until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Add hot water to thin, if gravy is too thick. Remove from heat to prevent scorching. The gravy should be as thick as pancake batter. Pour over chicken fried steak and serve.

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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds sirloin tip roast, cut into 6 3/4-inch-thick steaks
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup buttermilk, well shaken
Vegetable oil, for frying
3 cups milk

Steps:

  • Place steaks on a clean work surface and pound both sides to 1/4-inch thickness with the tenderizing side of a meat mallet. Season steaks with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Combine 1 cup flour and cayenne pepper in a wide, shallow dredging bowl and pour buttermilk into another dredging bowl. Coat steaks in flour, then buttermilk, and again in the flour. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack and let stand 20 minutes.
  • Pour oil to 1/8-inch depth into a large cast-iron skillet and heat over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, fry the steaks in two batches, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Whisk in milk and season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Boil, whisking constantly, until gravy thickens slightly, 1 minute. Transfer to a gravy boat or small pitcher and serve immediately poured over steaks.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH GRAVY RECIPE



Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy Recipe image

This Chicken Fried Steak is so easy to throw together on busy nights and tastes absolutely amazing.

Provided by Lauren

Categories     Main Course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

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.
  • Trim excess fat from from beef. Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices. Season each piece on both sides with the salt and pepper. Place the flour into a pie pan. Place the eggs into a separate pie pan. Dredge the meat on both sides in the flour. Pound meat to tenderize, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick. 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.
  • Place enough of the vegetable oil to cover the bottom of a 12-inch skillet and set over medium-high heat. 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.
  • Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the pan used to cook steaks. Whisk in the flour. Add the chicken broth to the pan. Whisk until the gravy comes to a boil and begins to thicken. Add the milk and whisk until the gravy reaches desired consistency, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Season to taste, with more salt and pepper, if needed. Serve the gravy over the steaks.
