Country Chicken Fried Steak
This golden-brown chicken fried steak pairs perfectly with creamy gravy and is sure to be a hit at your dinner table.
Ingredients
- 4 beef cube steaks
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup milk (for gravy)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour (for gravy)
Instructions
- Begin by seasoning your cube steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour and some more salt and pepper.
- In another bowl, combine the eggs and buttermilk, whisking until smooth.
- Dip each steak first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour. Make sure they are well coated for that crispy texture!
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Pour in enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded steaks to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Next, to make the gravy, lower the heat and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour, cooking for about a minute.
- Gradually add in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the gravy thickens, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the chicken fried steak hot, topped generously with the creamy gravy. It pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or biscuits!
