Chicken Fried Steak with Creamy Gravy
Ingredients
- 6 cube steaks or round steaks pounded thinly.
- 2 cups Flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp Paprika
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 4 TBS Pan drippings
- 1/4 cup Flour
- 3 cups milk
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare wide, shallow dish with flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes mixed together.
- Prepare wide, shallow dish with eggs and milk whisked together.
- Take one cube steak and dredge in flour, pressing flour into both sides. Shake off excess flour.
- Dip into egg mixture and coat well.
- Put steak back into flour and dredge a second time.
- Set aside on a plate and repeat with remaining steaks.
- To fry steaks, pour oil into a large frying pan or a wok covering the bottom 1/4 inch of pan.
- Once oil is heated to 350 degrees, or when a little drop of flour sizzles in the oil, lay steaks in one at a time. If oil doesn't completely cover steak, use a large spoon to scoop some oil onto top of steak. This will help set the coating.
- Fry on one side for 3 minutes, until edges turn golden brown.
- Carefully turn over steak and fry for 2 more minutes.
- Once both sides are a golden brown, remove steak and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- Continue until all steaks are done.
- To make the gravy, turn off the heat and let drippings settle to bottom of pan. Remove all fat, allowing around 4 TBS to remain.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup of flour turning heat back on to a medium.
- Once you get a nice brown color on the four mixture, slowly add the milk and whisk continually. Bring to a boil. Season will with salt and pepper.
- Serve chicken fried steak with gravy and enjoy.
