MOCK CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH MILK GRAVY

My mother made these for us four girls. Money was tight and she couldn't afford steak very often. These use ground beef. I use a 80/20 lean to fat. You can use ground round but it tends to be a little too dry. This is great with mashed potatoes. Everyone I have ever made it for loved it. The first time my DH had it he never knew it was ground beef. He just commented on the tenderness of the steak!

I'm not sure where my mom got this recipe, but she used to make it at least once a month. Although she never served it with gravy, I think peppered gravy would go great with this.

Tips:

To make the seitan as close to chicken as possible, use a combination of vital wheat gluten and chickpea flour. The vital wheat gluten will give the seitan a chewy texture, while the chickpea flour will add a slightly nutty flavor.
Be sure to knead the seitan dough well. This will help to develop the gluten and make the seitan more chewy.
When cooking the seitan, be sure to simmer it gently. This will help to prevent the seitan from becoming tough.
To make the gravy, use a combination of vegetable broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. This will give the gravy a rich and flavorful taste.
Serve the mock chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy. This is a classic comfort food meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.

Conclusion:

Mock chicken fried steak is a delicious and satisfying vegan dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little creativity, you can create a mock chicken fried steak that is just as good as the real thing.
