Ingredients
Chicken Fried Steak
- 2 pounds cube steak
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ½ cups flour
- 2 teaspoons salt divided
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne
- ¾ cup vegetable oil divided
Gravy
- ¼ cup Reserved grease
- ⅓ cup flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Chicken Fried Steak
- In a bowl combine milk and eggs, whisking together until they are fully combined.
- In a separate bowl combine flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne, whisking together.
- Place cube steak, the flour bowl, and the egg bowl next to each other in an assembly line.
- Using the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt lightly salt the steak.
- Dip the steak into the flour lightly coating it.
- Dip the steak into the egg mixture.
- Dip the steak back into the flour, making sure it is well coated before sitting aside. Repeat steps for each piece of cube steak.
- Heat a skillet with ½ a cup of vegetable oil in it over medium heat. You will know it is hot enough when you toss a small piece of flour into the oil and it sizzles.
- Add the steaks to the oil, cooking in batches. Cook until the outer crust is a medium brown and crisp. Then turn and continue to cook until the other side is the same and the meat is cooked through. Approximately 3-5 minutes per side.
- Set cooked pieces of steak on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Continue the process until all of the steaks are cooked. If needed add the remaining vegetable oil.
Gravy:
- Once all of the steaks are cooked drain the oil from the pan reserving ¼ cup in a heat-proof container.
- Add the oil back to the pan and heat over medium heat. Add the flour to the oil and whisk together until it forms a roux and the flour becomes light golden brown. Approximately 2 minutes.
- Add the milk to the roux and continue to cook and whisk, bringing the gravy to a boil. Add salt and pepper and stir until the gravy is smooth and has thickened to the desired consistency. Approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
- Serve over the Chicken Fried Steak.
