Number Of Ingredients 11

buttermilk, for dipping
2 large egg whites
1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp all purpose flour
1/2 tsp plus more to taste ground black pepper
3/4 tsp plus more to taste salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
4 lean, 4 oz. each cubed round steak
3 tbsp canola oil
3 tbsp or scallion finely chopped onion
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • In a shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk the egg whites with 2 teaspoons water. In a separate bowl or pie plate, whisk together 1/2 cup of the flour, the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Dip the steaks, one at a time, into the buttermilk. Then, dip each steak into the egg whites, letting any excess drip off. Lastly, dip the steaks into the flour mixture. Gently shake each steak to remove any excess.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook until well-browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add the onion and cook over medium heat until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Simmer until the gravy is thick and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the steaks with the gravy over the top.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH CREAM GRAVY

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Vegetable oil, for frying
36 ounces round steak
2 eggs
2 cups milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 cup canola oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 quart whole milk

Steps:

  • To make Chicken Fried Steak: Heat a deep, heavy skillet with at least 1/2-inch of oil to 340 degrees F. Alternatively, heat oil in a deep fryer to 340 degrees F.
  • Cut steak into 1/2-inch thick slices to make 6 (6-ounce) portions and remove any fat or gristle. Pound it with the coarse side of a tenderizing mallet until it is double in size and half as thick. In a shallow bowl, make an egg wash by combining the eggs and milk. In another shallow bowl or pan, make a seasoned breading by combining the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the steak in the seasoned flour, dip it in the egg wash, and then return it to the flour and push the flour into the steak with your fingers so that there are no moist spots. Immediately slide the steak into the hot oil, in batches as necessary to prevent overcrowding, and fry on 1 side until golden and crispy; then turn over and cook the rest of the way. The steaks are done when you lift them with a pair of tongs and they are stiff, not floppy. Keep warm while making the gravy.
  • To make Cream Gravy: Mix the canola oil and flour in a saucepan and cook this roux over medium heat until it looks grainy and becomes slightly golden in color, just a couple of minutes. Remove from heat. Add pepper and salt and mix well. Add milk, return the pan to the heat, and increase heat to high. Whisk until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Add hot water to thin, if gravy is too thick. Remove from heat to prevent scorching. The gravy should be as thick as pancake batter. Pour over chicken fried steak and serve.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH GRAVY



Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy image

A misleading name, as chicken is in no way, shape, or form involved. Deep-fried steak covered in a combination brown and white gravy. Best with some eggs and hash browns.

Provided by Brian Genest

Categories     Beef Steaks

Time 2h10m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 31

3 (8 ounce) beef eye of round steaks
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
5 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot ®)
1 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 ½ tablespoons garlic powder
1 ½ tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 tablespoon ground ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground chipotle powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground sage
½ teaspoon ground mustard powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 quart peanut oil for frying, or as needed
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups beef broth
¼ cup heavy cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Trim fat caps off steaks. Rub steaks with salt, then Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. Let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Transfer one steak to a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound the steak until it is about half the original thickness and twice the original area. Repeat with remaining two steaks.
  • Place 2 cups flour in a shallow bowl. Whisk buttermilk, eggs, and hot sauce together in a second bowl. Combine remaining 3 cups flour, bread crumbs, baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, Cajun seasoning, sea salt, chile seasoning, black pepper, thyme, oregano, sweet paprika, chipotle powder, cumin, sage, mustard powder, and cayenne pepper in a third, large bowl.
  • Dunk each piece of steak in the plain flour, then in the egg wash, and then in the breading, making sure it gets completely coated in each step. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate for 1 hour; this is crucial and ensures the breading will adhere to the meat.
  • When ready to cook, prepare gravy: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk beef broth into the flour mixture, then gradually whisk in cream, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, to let it further thicken. Keep warm as you cook the steaks.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Drop steaks into the hot oil and fry until breading is crisp and golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Serve hot steaks with gravy.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality steak. A good steak will make all the difference in your chicken-fried steak. Look for a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling.
  • Pound the steak thin. This will help it cook evenly and will also make it more tender.
  • Use a good breading. The breading is what gives chicken-fried steak its signature crispy crust. Make sure your breading is well-seasoned and adheres to the steak.
  • Fry the steak in hot oil. This will help create a crispy crust and prevent the steak from becoming greasy.
  • Make sure the steak is cooked all the way through. Chicken-fried steak should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the steak with creamy gravy. Creamy gravy is the perfect complement to chicken-fried steak. Make sure your gravy is rich and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Chicken-fried steak is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a family meal. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make chicken-fried steak at home. Just follow the tips above and you'll be sure to end up with a delicious meal that everyone will love.
