Chicken Fried Steak Recipe
Description
This recipe uses beef cube steak coated in a seasoned flour mixture, dipped in egg wash, and double-dredged to create a crispy exterior. The steaks are pan-fried in olive oil and butter until golden brown on both sides, maintaining a tender interior.
The gravy complements the steak by using pan drippings mixed with butter, flour, chicken broth, and milk, producing a smooth, flavorful sauce. Seasoning ingredients balance the richness and create a comforting accompaniment.
Chicken Fried Steak works well as a filling main dish paired with mashed potatoes or vegetables. Cooking in batches while keeping steaks warm allows for even frying and fresh gravy preparation.
Ingredients
for the steak:
- 4 beef cube steak about 1/2 pound each
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
for the gravy:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne. In another shallow dish, whisk together the egg and water. Dredge each steak in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, then dredge again in the flour mixture.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add two of the steaks to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until crisp and golden brown, then flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through and golden. Remove the steaks to a serving plate and cover them with foil to keep them warm. Add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet, and cook the remaining two steaks until golden. Cover with foil while preparing the gravy.
- To make the gravy, add the butter to the skillet with the browned bits from the steaks. Add the flour and whisk to form a paste. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until golden. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Add the milk, salt, and pepper, and cook until bubbling and thickened. To serve, spoon gravy over the steaks.
