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.

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus 2 heaping tablespoons
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon chile de arbol
Canola oil
1/2 pound slab bacon, cut into lardons
2 cups whole milk, heated
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
Fresh thyme sprigs

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Cut the steak into 4 equal portions.
  • Put the buttermilk in a medium baking dish and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Combine the 2 1/2 cups of flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chile de arbol and 2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper in a bowl and divide it between 2 baking dishes.
  • Dredge the steak, a few pieces at a time, in the flour mixture and pat off the excess. Dip them in the buttermilk and allow the excess to drain off. Dredge them again in the flour and pat off the excess. Put the chicken pieces on a baking rack set over a baking sheet while the oil heats.

Remove them to a plate lined with paper towels and season with salt, to taste. Repeat with the remaining pieces. Transfer the meat to a rack set on a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven while you make the gravy.
  • Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the skillet, leaving the crunchy pieces from the breading. Add the bacon and cook until golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Return the skillet to the stove over medium heat. Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour into the pan and let it cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the warm milk and continue to cook, whisking occasionally until thickened. Stir in the heavy cream and thyme and season with salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Serve 1 piece of steak per person ladled with some of the sauce and garnished with a few pieces of bacon. Garnish with thyme sprigs.

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 Guy Fieri Bio & Top Recipes

Time 26m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 pound boneless top round, trimmed
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 cups crushed butter crackers (recommended: Saltine)
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
1 cup canola oil
Drunken Pork Gravy, recipe follows
1 pound ground pork
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
1/2 cup diced onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/3 cup white wine
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Cut the beef into 4 equal pieces. Put the pieces between plastic wrap and pound out, with the textured side of a meat mallet, to 1/4-inch thick. Put the meat into a shallow glass or plastic dish, cover with the buttermilk, turning to coat. Set aside while you prepare the dredging station.
  • In a large baking dish, add the flour and season with salt and pepper, to taste. In a second dish, whisk eggs and milk together. In the third dish, combine the crushed crackers and the panko.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Fit a baking sheet with a rack.
  • Remove the steaks from the buttermilk, then dip each piece in the flour to coat, shaking off the excess flour. Next, coat them in the egg, then dip them in the cracker and panko mixture, lightly pressing the crumbs into the steak. Set the steaks set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Heat the canola oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat. When oil is shimmering, add the steaks, 1 at a time, and cook for 3 minutes on first side, 2 to 3 minutes on second side, or until cooked through. Repeat with remaining steaks. As you finish, blot the excess oil on a paper towel, then transfer the steaks to a baking sheet, and keep warm in a low oven.
  • Arrange the steaks on a serving platter and serve with Drunken Pork Gravy.
  • In a small bowl, combine the pork, salt and black pepper, to taste, the white pepper and red chili flakes. Heat a medium nonstick skillet, over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, breaking up the pork as it browns.
  • Once the pork is cooked through, add the onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer. Deglaze with the wine, and reduce for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the Dijon and sprinkle in the flour. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes to cook out the raw flavor of the flour.
  • Add 1 cup of the milk and stir until combined. Add the remaining milk and mix until it's just starting to thicken. Stir in the cream and heat through. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste, if needed. Serve immediately.

SUNNY'S CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH DICED POTATO GRAVY



Sunny's Chicken Fried Steak with Diced Potato Gravy image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 eggs
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds cube steak, cut into individual steaks
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
Vegetable oil, for frying
Diced Potato Gravy, recipe follows
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 bay leaf
2 1/2 cups beef broth
1 large russet potato, diced into 1/4-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup roughly chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add the steaks, stir to coat, and let sit 10 minutes. In a paper bag, combine the flour, cornstarch, a few pinches of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Remove the steaks from egg mixture and put into the paper bag. Roll the top of the bag to close, and shake until the steaks are evenly coated. This may be done in batches. Let the coated steak rest on a sheet tray lined with a rack for 10 minutes.
  • In a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet add enough oil to reach 1/2-inch up the sides. Heat the oil over medium heat to 370 degrees F. (When a wooden spoon inserted into the oil creates tiny bubbles, the oil is ready.) Fry the steaks, in batches if necessary, flipping only once when color is golden and a poke releases no red juices, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove to a serving platter and serve with Diced Potato Gravy.
  • In a large straight-sided skillet heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the flour, stirring to combine with the butter. Add the bay leaf and broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, then add the potatoes. Cook until the potatoes are tender and the gravy has thickened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the parsley. Serve poured over Sunny's Chicken Fried Steak.

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds beef bottom round, trimmed of excess fat
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 whole eggs, beaten
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
  • 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. Tenderize the meat, using a needling device, 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 slope-sided skillet and set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, 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 wire rack set in a half sheet pan and place into the oven. Repeat until all of the meat is browned.
  • Add the remaining vegetable oil, or at least 1 tablespoon, to the pan. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the flour left over from the dredging. Add the chicken broth and deglaze the pan. Whisk until the gravy comes to a boil and begins to thicken. Add the milk and thyme and whisk until the gravy coats the back of a spoon, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Season to taste, with more salt and pepper, if needed. Serve the gravy over the steaks.

SOUTHERN CHICKEN FRIED STEAK



Southern Chicken Fried Steak image

It took me many tries before I felt I had a really good Chicken Fried Steak. This fries up extra crispy, so I pour a little gravy on the plate and place steak on top. This way you get to enjoy the crispy with the gravy and your steak coating won't get soggy. Enough gravy for mashed potatoes, too! I hope you like it as much as we do.

POOR MAN'S CHICKEN FRIED STEAK



Poor Man's Chicken Fried Steak image

A chicken-fried steak made with hamburger. Very nice flavor! Salt and pepper are your friends in this recipe.

Provided by Bryan Nelson

Categories     100+ Everyday Cooking Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ pound ground beef
1 cup all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 eggs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or more if needed
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • Divide the meat into 4 pieces, and flatten into thin beef patties. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat until almost smoking, and cook the beef patties until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side; set the cooked burgers aside. Drain excess grease but leave any browned drippings in the skillet.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix together 1 cup of flour with salt and black pepper. In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth, mixing in a half teaspoon of water if needed.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in the skillet over medium heat. Dip both sides of cooked burgers into the eggs, then dredge in the seasoned flour; repeat 3 times to build up a thick coating on the burgers. Place the burgers into the hot oil, and pan-fry until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Set burgers aside.
  • Spoon away any excess vegetable oil. Melt butter in the skillet over medium heat, and stir to loosen any brown flavor bits left in the bottom of the skillet. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of flour until smooth. If you prefer a very thick gravy, use more flour. Gradually whisk in milk, cooking until the gravy is thick. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, and serve the gravy over the chicken-fried beef patties.

COUNTRY FRIED STEAKS WITH SWEET ONION GRAVY



Country Fried Steaks with Sweet Onion Gravy image

A simple recipe, but dressed up with a different, more flavorful, topping.

Provided by TerryWilson

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Beef     Steaks

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 ¼ teaspoons onion powder
1 ¼ teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 (4 ounce) beef cube steaks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 very large sweet onions (such as Vidalia®), thinly sliced
2 cups beef stock
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • In a shallow bowl, stir together the flour, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly mixed. Remove 1/3 cup of the flour mixture, and set aside. Gently press the cube steaks into the remaining flour mixture in the bowl until well coated on both sides.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the foam subsides on the butter. Gently pan-fry the steaks until the coating is browned, about 4 minutes per side. Turn only once. Remove the steaks to a platter.
  • Spread the onions out into the skillet with the remaining oil and butter, and cook over medium heat until the onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often. Sprinkle the reserved flour mixture over the onions; cook and stir for 1 more minute, then pour in the beef stock and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until the gravy is thickened. Scrape the pan well to dissolve any flavor bits left in the bottom. Return the browned steaks to the gravy mixture, then push them down into the gravy. Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the steaks are very tender, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup all-purpose flour
6 (4 ounce) cube steaks
1 cup peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
1 pinch black pepper, 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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x12 inch baking dish. Place flour in a shallow dish. Dredge steaks in the flour to coat evenly.
  • Heat peanut oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the steaks for about 5 to 8 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  • Place 3 fried cube steaks in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the steaks lightly with seasoned salt, garlic powder, and pepper, and scatter 1/3 cup of diced onions over the steaks. Layer the remaining 3 steaks on top, repeat the seasoning, and sprinkle with the rest of the onion.
  • Pour the condensed soup in a bowl, and drain the juice from the canned mushrooms into the empty soup can. Pour in enough water to fill the can, and whisk the liquid and mushrooms into the soup. Pour the soup mixture over the layered steaks.
  • Cover and bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and bake for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, until the onions are tender and the gravy is thick and bubbling.

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.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Tenderizing the steak is crucial for a juicy, flavorful result. Pounding it gently with a meat mallet or using a fork to poke holes will help break down the muscle fibers and allow the marinade to penetrate more effectively.
  • For a crispy, well-seasoned coating, use a combination of flour, seasoned salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Make sure to evenly coat the steak in this mixture before frying.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or griddle for frying the steak. This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the steak from sticking or burning.
  • Cooking the steak over medium-high heat will give it a nice, golden-brown crust while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Be sure to adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
  • To ensure the steak is cooked to your desired doneness, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. The internal temperature should reach 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, and 170°F for well-done.
  • For a flavorful and savory gravy, use the pan drippings from frying the steak. Simply add some flour, milk, and seasonings to the skillet and whisk until a smooth, thick sauce forms.
  • Serve the chicken-fried steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or corn on the cob. Enjoy the crispy, juicy steak smothered in a rich, flavorful gravy!

Conclusion:

Chicken-fried steak is a classic comfort food that combines the best of both worlds: the crispy, savory flavor of fried chicken and the tender, juicy texture of steak. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can easily make this delicious dish at home.
