Chicken Fried Steak Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Tenderize the beef cube steaks using a meat mallet, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

2. 2

   Breading Process

   Set up a breading station with one bowl of flour, one bowl of beaten eggs mixed with milk, and a third bowl for additional flour. Dredge each steak in flour, dip into the egg mixture, and then coat again in flour.

3. 3

   Fry the Steak

   In a large skillet, heat half of the butter over medium-high heat. Fry each breaded steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Make the Gravy

   In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and scrape up any bits from the bottom. Stir in a few tablespoons of the leftover flour from the breading process to make a roux. Slowly whisk in milk until smooth and thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Cook Hash Browns

   In a separate skillet, cook hash browns according to package instructions or until crispy and golden brown.

6. 6

   Cook Eggs

   In a non-stick pan, fry the eggs sunny side up or to your liking.

7. 7

   Toast the Bread

   Toast the bread slices until golden brown.

8. 8

   Serve

   Plate the chicken fried steak, pour gravy over the top, and serve with hash browns, eggs, and toast on the side.
