CHICKEN (COUNTRY) FRIED STEAK AND WHITE GRAVY (BOBBY FLAY)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Cut the steak into 4 equal portions.
• Place the buttermilk in a medium baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne and 2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper in a bowl and divide between 2 baking dishes.
• Dredge the pieces a few at a time in the flour mixture and pat off excess, then dip in the buttermilk and allow excess to drain off. Dredge in the second dish of flour and pat off the excess. Put the chicken pieces on a baking rack set over a baking sheet while the oil heats.
• Place 1-inch of oil in a large cast iron skillet until it reaches 350 degrees F on a thermometer. Add the steak, 2 pieces at a time and cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining meat. Transfer the meat to a rack set on a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm while you make the gravy.
• Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan, leaving the crunchy pieces from the breading. Add the bacon and cook until golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Return the pan to the stove over medium heat. Whisk the flour into the pan and let cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the warm milk and continue to cook, whisking occasionally until thickened. Stir in the heavy cream and thyme and season with salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Serve 1 piece per person ladled with some of the sauce and garnished with a few pieces of bacon.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH COUNTRY GRAVY

Steps:

• 1. For the steaks: Bring steaks to room temperature. Heat oil in frying pan over medium low heat. Season steaks with salt & pepper on both sides. Put flour in one pie plate close to skillet. Season flour with salt & pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and paprika, and mix well. In other pie plate mix eggs, milk and season with salt & pepper. Dredge steak first in flour mixture, then into egg mixture, then back into flour mixture again, making sure to evenly coat each time. Gently lay steak in frying pan and fry until dark golden brown on bottom, then flip using tongs so as not to dislodge breading. This should take about 7 minutes per side, depending on size of steak. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
• 2. For the gravy: In a clean skillet or sauce pan, on medium low heat, melt butter. Add flour and mix well with a fork or a whisk. It should be the consistency of wet sand. Cook for a couple of minutes til it looks kind of frothy. Do not let it brown as this is a white gravy. (It doesn't hurt it if you do, but it won't look as pretty.) Slowly, a little at a time while constantly whisking, add in your milk. Add milk and continue whisking until gravy is smooth and thickens to desired consistency. Season with salt and HEAVY pepper. Serve over steak and mashed potatoes.
