Chicken-fried Steak Recipe

Chicken-Fried Steak Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Tenderize the beef round steak using a meat mallet. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

2. 2

   Dredging Station

   Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, another with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and the third with seasoned flour (flour mixed with garlic powder, salt, and pepper).

3. 3

   Coat the Steak

   Dip each steak first into the plain flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the seasoned flour, ensuring even coating.

4. 4

   Fry the Steak

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

5. 5

   Make the Gravy

   In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add 4 tablespoons of flour to the remaining oil and whisk until golden brown. Gradually stir in beef broth and bring to a simmer, whisking until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the chicken-fried steak hot, topped with creamy gravy.
