Chicken Fried Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another dish, whisk together eggs and milk.

  2. 2

    Bread the Steaks

    Dredge each cube steak in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour.

  3. 3

    Fry the Steaks

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry each steak until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.

Mashed Potatoes

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

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

Bacon Braised Green Beans

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving drippings in the pan.

  2. 7

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pan, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened.

  3. 8

    Braised the Green Beans

    Add green beans and chicken broth to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes.

    Crumble the cooked bacon on top before serving.
