CHICKEN FRIED STEAK (NO, WAIT THAT'S DEER FRIED STEAK)



Chicken Fried Steak (No, wait that's Deer Fried Steak) image

When we cut our deer loins up for steaks, we cube them with a machine. So, actually it is tenderized twice, where the pattern on meat is cubed. I got tired of just the same old thing ,so I thought, why not try this? Glad I did.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb cubed deer steak
1 large egg
1 c milk
enough flour for double breading
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Beat together the egg & milk. Set aside.
  • 2. Lay meat, a few pieces at a time, on counter. Take a small cast iron skillet, or other skillet that is not rounded on bottom, & with the bottom edge of the pan, slightly flatten the meat. So, if the meat was 1/2" thick to start with, flatten to about 1/4".
  • 3. Place the deer steak in egg mixture.
  • 4. Place the flour in sorta deep bowl to prevent a mess.
  • 5. Remove the meat from mix, one piece at a time, & shake off excess liquid & place in flour mixture. With hands, cover both sides of meat with flour & press it onto it. Shake off excess & place on a piece of wax paper. Repeat with all pieces of meat. Do not stack.
  • 6. Heat 1/4" canola oil in cast iron skillet or whatever you fry in. Heat on med-high heat.
  • 7. As you place the meat in the fryer, re-dip in your flour first & shake off excess.
  • 8. Place in hot oil & fry until golden brown on one side, flip & repeat on other side.
  • 9. Drain on paper towels. Salt & pepper on top. Serve hot with mashed potatoes & white gravy.
  • 10. This has absolutely no deer taste. It tastes just like the normally chicken fried steak without the gristle & added fat.

CHICKEN FRIED VENISON STEAKS

I was looking for something different to do with my man's fresh kill, so I just whipped this up from stuff I had in the cupboard. My husband and children loved it. Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy (I used brown gravy, but country gravy may be used for a milder taste).

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH GRAVY



Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 pounds cube steak (tenderized round steak that's been extra tenderized)
Kosher salt
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 to 4 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Mashed potatoes, for serving

Steps:

  • For the steak: Begin with setting up an assembly line of dishes. Mix the milk with the eggs in one; the flour mixed with the seasoned salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, paprika and cayenne in another; and the meat in a third. Then have one clean plate at the end to receive the breaded meat.
  • Work with one piece of meat at a time. Sprinkle both sides with kosher salt and black pepper, then place it in the flour mixture. Turn to coat. Place the meat into the milk/egg mixture, turning to coat. Finally, place it back in the flour and turn to coat (dry mixture/wet mixture/dry mixture). Place the breaded meat on the clean plate, then repeat with the remaining meat.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter. Drop in a few sprinkles of flour to make sure it's sufficiently hot. When the butter sizzles immediately, you know it's ready. (It should not brown right away, if it does, the fire is too hot.) Cook the meat, 3 pieces at a time, until the edges start to look golden brown, about 2 minutes each side. Remove the meat to a paper towel-lined plate and keep them warm by covering lightly with another plate or a sheet of foil. Repeat until all the meat is cooked.
  • After all the meat is fried, pour off the grease into a heatproof bowl. Without cleaning the skillet, return it to the stove over medium-low heat. Add 1/4 cup of the grease back to the skillet and allow it to heat up.
  • For the gravy: When the grease is hot, sprinkle the flour evenly over the grease. Using a whisk, mix the flour with the grease, creating a golden-brown paste. Add more flour if it looks overly greasy; add a little more grease if it becomes too pasty/clumpy. Keep cooking until the roux reaches a deep golden brown color.
  • Pour in the milk, whisking constantly. Add the seasoned salt and black pepper to taste and cook, whisking, until the gravy is smooth and thick, 5 to 10 minutes. Be prepared to add more milk if it becomes overly thick. Be sure to taste to make sure gravy is sufficiently seasoned.
  • Serve the meat next to a big side of mashed potatoes. Pour gravy over the whole shebang!

THE BEST CHICKEN-FRIED STEAK



The Best Chicken-Fried Steak image

A staple throughout Texas, chicken-fried steak consists of a thinly pounded beef cutlet that is battered and fried until crisp, then served with creamy country gravy. Adding cornstarch to the seasoned flour and dredging the meat twice gives our version an extra-crunchy and flavorful crust.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Four 3- to 4-ounce cube steaks (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups cornstarch
1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon hot sauce, such as Frank's RedHot
4 1/2 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Liberally sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper (see Cook's Note). Put them on a rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and let sit at room temperature while you make the gravy.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the flour until combined and cook until golden and bubbling, about 1 minute. Whisk in the whole milk, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, whisking frequently, until the gravy boils. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, whisking occasionally, until the gravy thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm; it will seem loose but will thicken as it sits.
  • Whisk the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk, egg and hot sauce in a medium bowl. Working with 1 steak at a time, dredge in the seasoned flour, turning to coat and packing into the crevices. Shake to remove any excess and return to the rack. Repeat with the remaining steaks.
  • Pour 3 tablespoons of the buttermilk mixture into the seasoned flour and work it in with your fingers; it should feel like wet sand with some clumps. (These clumps will give the steak a crispy, shaggy crust.) Dip the dredged steaks into the remaining buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Pack the moistened flour firmly onto each steak. Very gently shake off any excess and return to the rack. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Pour the oil into a large cast-iron skillet fitted with a deep-fry thermometer (the oil should come about halfway up the sides). Heat the oil over high heat until the thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Fry the steaks in 2 batches until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Whisk the warm cream gravy to loosen it and serve over the chicken-fried steak.

CHICKEN-FRIED STEAK



Chicken-Fried Steak image

Through good times and bad, the cube steak has remained a wallflower among meat cuts. Old-fashioned and a little mysterious, it's a steak without pretension, or maybe a hamburger with humble aspirations. The term "cube" can be a little murky. It doesn't refer to the shape of the meat, which is usually beef but is sometimes made from pork, elk or other animals. Rather, it refers to both the shape of the dimples that checkerboard the surface of cube steak and the process that puts the dimples there. Those dimples provide more surface area for flour to cling to, which makes for crisper cutlets in recipes like this simply-prepared (no batter, just a generous dusting of flour) chicken-fried steak.

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Vegetable oil for frying
2 cups flour
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons pepper
2 cups milk
2 pounds cube steak, cut into 6 pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200 degrees. Pour a half-inch of oil into a cast-iron or other large, heavy skillet and place over medium-high heat.
  • Put flour, salt and pepper in a large zip-top bag or in a large baking dish and mix well. Pour milk into a large bowl. Dip each piece of steak in milk, shake off excess and then shake in bag of flour or press into dish of flour, making sure both sides are well coated. Shake off excess.
  • Lay steaks into hot oil until skillet is full, but not crowded. Cook for about 3 minutes a side, or until a good crust is formed. You may need to do this in batches, moving steaks to a platter in the warm oven as they cook. When done, pour off all but about 4 tablespoons of fat from pan, leaving in as many browned bits as possible, and turn off heat.
  • Pour milk into a saucepan and add enough water to make 3 cups. Heat over medium heat until just before boiling point.
  • Turn heat under frying pan to medium. When oil is hot, sprinkle in 3 tablespoons of flour mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, quickly stirring until flour starts to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add liquid, stirring constantly to remove lumps and cook until thickened. Adjust seasoning.

THE BEST CHICKEN FRIED STEAK



The Best Chicken Fried Steak image

I received this recipe from a co-worker about 5 years ago. This is by far the best chicken fried steak I've ever had. I've made this numerous times for my picky eater son and my southern-raised better half, as well as other family and friends. I get nothing but rave reviews each time.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Beef     Steaks

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (1/2 pound) beef cube steaks
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon black pepper
¾ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups buttermilk
1 egg
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™)
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups vegetable shortening for deep frying
¼ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups milk
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Pound the steaks to about 1/4-inch thickness. Place 2 cups of flour in a shallow bowl. Stir together the baking powder, baking soda, pepper, and salt in a separate shallow bowl; stir in the buttermilk, egg, Tabasco Sauce, and garlic. Dredge each steak first in the flour, then in the batter, and again in the flour. Pat the flour onto the surface of each steak so they are completely coated with dry flour.
  • Heat the shortening in a deep cast-iron skillet to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Fry the steaks until evenly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Place fried steaks on a plate with paper towels to drain. Drain the fat from the skillet, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid and as much of the solid remnants as possible.
  • Return the skillet to medium-low heat with the reserved oil. Whisk the remaining flour into the oil. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a spatula to release solids into the gravy. Stir in the milk, raise the heat to medium, and bring the gravy to a simmer, cook until thick, 6 to 7 minutes. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Spoon the gravy over the steaks to serve.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH GRAVY RECIPE



Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy Recipe image

This Chicken Fried Steak is so easy to throw together on busy nights and tastes absolutely amazing.

Provided by Lauren

Categories     Main Course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds beef bottom round ((with excess fat trimmed off))
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 cup flour
3 eggs (beaten)
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
¼ cup flour
2 cups chicken broth
½ cup whole milk
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Trim excess fat from from beef. Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices. Season each piece on both sides with the salt and pepper. Place the flour into a pie pan. Place the eggs into a separate pie pan. Dredge the meat on both sides in the flour. Pound meat to tenderize, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick. Once tenderized, dredge the meat again in the flour, followed by the egg and finally in the flour again. Repeat with all the pieces of meat. Place the meat onto a plate and allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking.
  • Place enough of the vegetable oil to cover the bottom of a 12-inch skillet and set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to simmer, add the meat in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each piece on both sides until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a baking sheet or pan and place into the oven. Repeat until all of the meat is browned.
  • Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the pan used to cook steaks. Whisk in the flour. Add the chicken broth to the pan. Whisk until the gravy comes to a boil and begins to thicken. Add the milk and whisk until the gravy reaches desired consistency, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Season to taste, with more salt and pepper, if needed. Serve the gravy over the steaks.

Tips:

  • Tenderize the venison: Use a meat mallet or fork to tenderize the venison before cooking. This will help to break down the tough fibers and make the meat more tender.
  • Marinate the venison: Marinating the venison in a flavorful marinade for several hours or overnight will help to add flavor and moisture to the meat.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help to create a crispy crust on the venison.
  • Cook the venison over medium heat: Cooking the venison over medium heat will help to prevent the meat from drying out.
  • Don't overcook the venison: Overcooked venison will be tough and dry. Cook the venison until it is just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the venison with your favorite sides: Venison fried steak can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or corn on the cob.

Venison fried steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your venison fried steak is tender, juicy, and flavorful. So next time you have some venison, give this recipe a try!
