Method

Chicken Fried Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Tenderize the beef round steak using a meat mallet until about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In another bowl, place the flour.

  3. 3

    Bread the Steak

    Dip the seasoned steak into the flour, coating both sides. Then dip it into the egg mixture, and return it to the flour for a second coating.

  4. 4

    Fry the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 5

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into quarters. Place them in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 6

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Country Gravy

  1. 7

    Make the Roux

    In the same skillet used for frying the steak, add the bacon grease or drippings over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until golden.

  2. 8

    Add Milk and Season

    Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously. Cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Side Dish

  1. 9

    Prepare Green Beans

    Trim the ends of the green beans. Steam or boil them until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Dinner Roll

  1. 10

    Warm the Rolls

    If using store-bought dinner rolls, warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes before serving.
