Report
Chicken Fried Steak is a southern classic made with tender marinated cube steaks that have been breaded and pan fried until golden. And don't forget the creamy white pepper gravy on top!

Ingredients
- 4 cube steaks around 1/3 lb each
- enough peanut or vegetable oil to fill your frying pot/pan about 3/4 - 1" up
- white gravy (click on the ingredient name for the recipe for our favorite white gravy!)
Buttermilk Marinade
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 Tbsp Tabasco or hot sauce
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Seasoned Flour
- 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp smoked or regular sweet paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
Instructions
- Add marinade ingredients (buttermilk, eggs, tabasco sauce, salt and pepper to a large dish (I usually use a baking dish) and whisk to combine.
- Pat cube steaks dry with paper towels, then add the steaks to the marinade, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
- Add enough oil to be 3/4 - 1” deep in a heavy bottomed pot (I use a shallow dutch oven or deep cast iron skillet), and heat over MED heat until oil reaches 350°F. The amount of oil needed will depend on the size of your pan.
- Get out a rimmed baking sheet and top it with an oven-safe metal cooling rack. Set close by the frying pan. This will be where you place the fried steaks once they’re done.
- Combine seasoned flour ingredients (flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried thyme) in a shallow bowl and whisk to combine well.
- Preheat oven to 225°F. This is to keep the fried steaks warm until they’re ready to be served.
- When the oil is ready, coat one cube steak in the seasoned flour, then carefully add it to the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Use a frying spider to remove steak from oil and place on prepared baking sheet/cooling rack.
- Repeat with remaining cube steaks, frying one or two at a time (depending on the size of your pan).
- When all the steaks are fried, place the baking sheet/cooling rack with the steaks on it to the preheated oven to keep warm while you make the peppered white gravy.
- Serve chicken fried steaks with gravy poured over the top, sprinkled with a bit of extra pepper.
