Method

Prepare the Chicken-Fried Steak

  1. 1

    Coat the Steak

    In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk and eggs. Dip each steak in buttermilk mixture, then coat with flour mixture.

  2. 2

    Fry the Steak

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each coated steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Make the Green Chile Sausage Gravy

  1. 3

    Cook the Sausage

    In the same skillet, cook the green chile sausage over medium heat until browned. Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir to combine.

  2. 4

    Add Milk and Season

    Gradually whisk in milk until the mixture thickens. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Keep warm.

Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

  1. 5

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 6

    Mash and Season

    Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Cook the Veggies

  1. 7

    Prepare the Mixed Vegetables

    In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add mixed vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
