For the Chicken Fried Steak

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in one, buttermilk mixed with eggs in the second, and a mixture of salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in the third.

  2. 2

    Dredge the Steaks

    Season the cube steaks with salt and pepper. Dip each steak in the flour, then into the buttermilk mixture, and finally back into the flour to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Fry the Steaks

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded steaks and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the chicken fried steak warm, optionally with gravy on top.
