Chicken Fried Steak

Ingredients

• •1.5 lbs beef cube steak or round steak
• •1 cup all-purpose flour
• •1 tsp salt
• •0.5 tsp black pepper
• •0.5 tsp garlic powder
• •2 eggs
• •2 tbsp milk
• •2 cups vegetable oil for frying
• •3 tbsp butter
• •3 tbsp flour
• •2 cups whole milk

Directions

1. 1Mix 1 cup flour with salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a shallow dish. Whisk eggs with 2 tbsp milk in another dish.
2. 2Dredge each steak in the flour mixture, shake off excess, dip in egg mixture, then coat again in flour.
3. 3Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry steaks 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate.
4. 4Pour off most oil from the skillet, leaving about 2 tbsp. Add butter and melt over medium heat.
5. 5Whisk in 3 tbsp flour to create a roux, stirring constantly for 1 minute until lightly browned.
6. 6Slowly pour in 2 cups milk while whisking constantly until the gravy thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. 7Arrange steaks on a serving platter and pour the hot country gravy over top. Serve immediately.

💡 Let the breading rest on chicken-fried steak for several minutes before frying; that short pause helps the flour coating adhere instead of floating off in the oil.
