Chicken Fried Steak

Country Gravy

Method

Chicken Fried Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Tenderize the beef round steak by pounding it to about 1/2 inch thickness. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, pour the buttermilk. In a second bowl, beat the eggs with a fork. In a third bowl, place the flour.

  3. 3

    Bread the Steak

    Dip each piece of steak into the flour, then into the buttermilk and egg mixture, and back into the flour, ensuring it's well-coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

Country Gravy Preparation

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

    In the same skillet used for the steak, remove excess oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Add the butter and melt over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Make the Roux

    Whisk in the flour, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes until lightly browned.

  3. 7

    Add Milk and Season

    Gradually whisk in the milk while continuing to stir. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Pour the gravy over the fried steak and serve hot.
