CHICKEN-FRIED STEAK STRIPS WITH MILK GRAVY



Chicken-Fried Steak Strips With Milk Gravy image

This is very popular in our house. The kids love the strips they can eat with their fingers and dip into the gravy. They prefer to have french fries with this so they can dip them in the gravy, too. Most definitely a Texas (or Oklahoma) recipe - Southwestern U.S. NOTE: Although this isn't a low fat recipe, it doesn't contain anywhere near the amount indicated in the nutrition facts which include all the oil. If the oil is hot enough when you add the steak strips, it will absorb very little oil. Also, you can drain the cooked steak strips on paper towels to absorb more fat.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK STRIPS

Categories     Beef     Fry

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg
2 tablespoons water
¾ cup buttermilk baking mix (such as Bisquick)
2 pounds bottom or top round steak (cut into strips), pounded well to tenderize
Vegetable oil
For the gravy:
2 tablespoons pan drippings
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups milk, heavy cream, or evaporated milk, room temperature
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a shallow pan or plate, sift together flour, salt, and pepper. In another shallow pan, combine egg and water. In still another shallow pan, place baking mix. Coat steak pieces in flour mixture, dip in egg mixture, and then coat with baking mix. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil and heat until a drop of water sizzles. Add coated steak pieces, in batches, and fry 4 to 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and thoroughly cooked, add additional vegetable oil if needed. Remove from pan and keep cooked steaks warm in preheated oven (150°F). Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the cooking oil. Put the frying pan back over the heat and make the gravy. In the same frying pan with 2 tablespoons pan drippings, over medium heat, sprinkle flour over the oil and blend with a wooden spoon or whisk until smooth. Whisking or stirring constantly, slowly pour in milk, cream or evaporated milk; continue stirring, scraping loose browned bits from the bottom and sides of skillet, until the gravy begins to boil and thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 to 8 minutes or until gravy is thickened to the desired consistency and the flour has lost its raw, pasty taste. Remove from pan and serve hot with the steak strips.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Top round steak or cube steak are commonly used for chicken fried steak strips.
  • Tenderize the beef: Use a meat mallet or a fork to tenderize the beef slices before cooking.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinate the beef strips in a mixture of buttermilk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Season the flour mixture: Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the flour mixture for extra flavor.
  • Dredge the beef strips thoroughly: Make sure the beef strips are evenly coated with the flour mixture before frying.
  • Fry the beef strips in hot oil: Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) before adding the beef strips. This will help create a crispy crust.
  • Cook the beef strips in batches: Do not overcrowd the pan, or the beef strips will not cook evenly.
  • Drain the beef strips on paper towels: After frying, place the beef strips on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Chicken fried steak strips can be served with mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, or green beans.
