Chicken Fried Steak

Method

Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Steak

Pound the beef round steak to about 1/2 inch thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.

2

Breading Process

Set up a breading station: in one bowl, combine buttermilk and eggs; in another, place the flour. Dip each piece of steak in the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in flour, coating well.

3

Frying the Steak

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded steak until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4

Making the Gravy

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, add butter, and scrape up any browned bits. Whisk in the remaining flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, and cook until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5

Prepare Mashed Potatoes

Prepare your mashed potatoes according to your preferred recipe.

6

Bake Biscuits

Prepare and bake the biscuit dough according to the recipe instructions.

7

Serve

Plate the chicken fried steak, top with country gravy, serve with mashed potatoes and a biscuit on the side.
