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 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.

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.

Provided by norah

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.

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:

  • Use a meat mallet to tenderize the cube steak before cooking. This will help to make it more tender and juicy.
  • Make sure the oil is hot before adding the cube steak. This will help to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the cube steak over medium heat for about 3 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. Do not overcook, or it will become tough.
  • Make the pan gravy while the cube steak is cooking. This will save you time and effort.
  • Serve the chicken-fried steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or corn.

Conclusion:
