Chicken-fried Steak Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Pound the beef round steak to about 1/2 inch thickness. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   In one bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk and eggs.

3. 3

   Bread the Steak

   Dip each steak first in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk mixture, and finally back into the flour to coat evenly.

4. 4

   Fry the Steak

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Make Garlic Mashed Potatoes

   Boil potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Make the Gravy

   In the same skillet used for frying, remove excess oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Whisk in flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually add chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Cook until thickened.

7. 7

   Serve

   Plate the chicken-fried steak with a generous serving of garlic mashed potatoes and top with country gravy.
