Chicken Fried Steak Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Tenderize the beef steak using a meat mallet or rolling pin until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one shallow bowl, place the flour mixed with paprika, salt, and pepper. In another shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.

  3. 3

    Bread the Steak

    Dip each piece of steak first into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour, ensuring an even coating.

  4. 4

    Fry the Steak

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

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried steaks and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with gravy if desired.
