There are some classic Southern recipes that elicits a “Now that’s some good eatin'” after finishing it off. Chicken fried steak is one of those recipes. It’s hearty, flavorful, and pure comfort food at its best. I remember when I did the Dr. Oz show I had the task to make chicken fried steak healthier. I cringed at the fact lol. Some things are just not meant to be made healthy! Is it really chicken fried steak without the magic of being fried to crunchy golden perfection in hot oil and then smothered in homemade white gravy?

I’ll post my healthier take another day, but right now it’s all about the traditional chicken fried steak and all of her glory!

Chicken

If you never had or heard of chicken fried steak you’re probably thinking what the heck! It’s a pretty simple dish. In short, it’s a tenderized steak (usually cube steak) that is coated and fried.

Southern Cream Gravy

The outside resembles fried chicken because it is coated in flour, milk, and eggs, basically the same stuff you’d use to coat fried chicken.

It’s fried until golden and crispy. So you get to experience that crispy golden crust and tender delicious steak all in one bite!

Now it’s pretty easy to see why it’s called chicken fried steak huh?And if that wasn’t enough, chicken fried steak is often served with a generous drizzling of creamy white or brown gravy.

Usually, though, country-fried steak doesn’t include egg or milk in the batter. It’s dusted with seasoned flour and fried so the coating is pretty thin and it’s typically served with brown gravy.

Chicken fried steak resembles fried chicken because the coating uses eggs, flour, and milk, just as you would in fried chicken. It’s typically served with creamy white gravy. I don’t get into these types of debates, I just eat all the things! And I love it both ways!

Typically you’ll want to go with cube steak (sometimes called minute steak). I prefer Angus cube steak. It’s a cheaper cut of steak and very flavorful. Cube steak comes already tenderized but I like to tenderize and flatten it even more. That way my fork just glides through that crunchy coating and tender steak. It’s a beautiful thing! Other cuts of steak like round steak can be used as well just make sure you tenderize the mess out of it!

Tenderizing cube steak is very easy. To tenderize cube steak, even more, place the steak on a cutting board and cover it with plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the steak repeatedly. This will flatten and tenderize the steak. You could also sprinkle the steak with a meat tenderizer and refrigerate it for 30 minutes for added tenderness. I usually skip this step as it isn’t needed if you go with a quality cubed steak.

Allowing these steaks to sit for a bit after dredging is the key to getting that coating to be nice and crisp since it dries it out a little. Also, be sure that oil is at 350 F. (adjusting if needed after adding the steaks).

This creamy country-style white gravy uses half chicken broth and half whole milk. You can certainly use all milk but I prefer it this way with dinner dishes. It just adds a level of savoriness that I love! Be sure to really season this gravy up well so that it tastes good enough to drink! There is nothing more depressing than a bland gravy!

If you want to, you can always bump up the heat by adding in another teaspoon or so of TABASCO® Sauce, or, you can always just add a dash or two to the top of your steak. That’s how my Grandpa ate his and Reece and Chris do the same.

Chicken Fried Steak is not made with chicken. Period. No chicken to be found. It’s called this because the steak is breaded and fried much like you would a piece of chicken. Chicken Fried Steak is made with cube steak that you find already tenderized at your grocery store.
