Chicken Fried Steak Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Breading Station

   In one shallow dish, combine flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. In another shallow dish, whisk together eggs and milk.

2. 2

   Bread the Steaks

   Dredge each cube steak in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then dip in the egg mixture and again coat with the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4. 4

   Fry the Steaks

   Carefully add the breaded steaks to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Make the Gravy (optional)

   In the same skillet, add butter and let it melt. Whisk in leftover flour mixture to create a roux, then gradually add milk, whisking until smooth and thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
