Chicken Fried Steak
This Chicken Fried Steak is the epitome of comfort food, combining tender steak with a crispy coating, all drenched in a savory gravy.
Ingredients
Chicken Steak
- 1 lb Cube Steak
- Salt to season
- Oil for deep frying
Gravy
- 2 tbsp Flour
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 cups Milk (plus an extra ¼ incase the gravy is too thick)
- 1 Chicken Stock Cube
- Pepper to taste
Coating
- 1 cup Flour
- 1 tbsp Creole Seasoning optional
- 1 Egg
- ¼ cup Buttermilk
- 2 tsp Tabasco
Instructions
Preparing the Gravy:
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and chicken stock cube to form a yellow paste and let it cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form.
- Allow the mixture to reach a slight simmer. If the sauce becomes too thick, whisk in the extra milk until you achieve your desired consistency. Season with pepper as per your taste. Cover the pot and set the gravy aside.
Preparing the Steak:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour with creole seasoning (if using). In another bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and tabasco.
- Season each steak with salt. Coat the steaks in the seasoned flour, then dip them in the egg mixture, and finally coat them again with the seasoned flour.
- In a large pan, heat the oil. Once hot, fry the coated steaks in batches for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the fried steaks onto a wire rack to drain any excess oil.
- Plate the steaks and generously drizzle the prepared gravy over them.
