Method

Chicken Fried Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Round Steak

    Tenderize the round steak using a meat mallet until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with seasoned flour (add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika).

  3. 3

    Bread the Steak

    Dredge the steak in flour, dip it in the egg mixture, and then coat it with the seasoned flour again. Press the flour onto the steak to ensure it adheres.

  4. 4

    Fry the Steak

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

Mashed Potatoes with Country Gravy

  1. 5

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

  2. 6

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.

  3. 7

    Make the Gravy

    In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add sage, salt, and pepper and cook until thickened.

  4. 8

    Serve the Gravy

    Pour the gravy over the mashed potatoes before serving.

Corn

  1. 9

    Prepare the Corn

    In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the frozen corn and cook until heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt.

Garden Salad

  1. 10

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber. Toss gently to mix.

  2. 11

    Serve with Dressings

    Serve the salad with your choice of dressings on the side.

Dinner Rolls

  1. 12

    Serve the Rolls

    Warm the dinner rolls in the oven at low heat before serving. Serve with butter.

Dessert

  1. 13

    Choose Dessert

    Select your dessert of choice and serve at the end of the meal.

Beverages

  1. 14

    Prepare Beverages

    Brew coffee, prepare iced tea, and mix lemonade. Serve chilled or hot as desired.
