Chicken Fried Steak

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Pound the beef round steak to about 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, pour the buttermilk. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Breading the Steak

    Dip each piece of steak in the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.

  4. 4

    Frying the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded steaks. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the cooked steaks from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain. Serve immediately with creamy mashed potatoes and your choice of sauce.
