Tips:

  • Use flank steak, cube steak, or round steak for a tender, flavorful chicken-fried steak.
  • Make sure the steak is thinly sliced, about 1/4 inch thick, so that it cooks evenly.
  • Soak the steak in a buttermilk and egg mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to tenderize the meat and help the breading adhere.
  • Use a light touch when breading the steak, so that the breading doesn't fall off during cooking.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before cooking the steak, to ensure that the steak cooks evenly and doesn't stick to the basket.
  • Cook the steak in batches, if necessary, so that the steak doesn't overcrowd the air fryer basket and cook evenly.
  • Cook the steak for 8-10 minutes, or until the steak is cooked through and golden brown.
  • Serve the chicken-fried steak immediately, with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw.

Air fryer chicken-fried steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The air fryer cooks the steak quickly and evenly, and the result is a crispy, flavorful steak that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
