Country Fried Steak

Chorizo Gravy

Method

Prepare Country Fried Steak

  1. 1

    Tenderize the Steak

    Pound the beef round steak to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet.

  2. 2

    Prepare Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour mixed with salt, pepper, and paprika; one with beaten eggs mixed with milk; and one with plain flour.

  3. 3

    Bread the Steak

    Dredge the steak in the flour, dip it in the egg mixture, and then coat it again in the flour. Ensure it is well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Steak

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

Make Chorizo Gravy

  1. 5

    Cook Chorizo

    In the same skillet used for frying, remove excess oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Add chorizo sausage and cook until browned and crumbled.

  2. 6

    Make Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the cooked chorizo and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the flour is lightly browned.

  3. 7

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, cooking until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare Sides

  1. 8

    Cook Fries

    Fry or bake the potato fries according to package instructions until crispy.

  2. 9

    Prepare Salad

    Toss the mixed salad greens in a bowl and add your favorite salad dressing.

Serve

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the Country Fried Steak topped with chorizo gravy alongside fries and salad.
