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.

KENTUCKY FRIED STEAK WITH CREAM GRAVY



Kentucky Fried Steak With Cream Gravy image

Since reverse-engineering KFC's 'Colonel's Secret Original Recipe Seasoning', I've discovered the best chicken fried steak ever -- one made with my Recipe #453973 -- and my Recipe #490043.

Provided by The Spice Guru

Categories     Steak

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs fresh cube steaks
16 ground saltine crackers (use food processor)
1 1/2 cups pre-sifted all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tablespoons seasoning (Bulk KFC Original Recipe Seasoning (Copycat))
vegetable oil or pure peanut oil
3 tablespoons salted butter (bacon, sausage or pork) or 3 tablespoons fat (bacon, sausage or pork)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk (lowfat or nonfat milk okay)
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
3/4 teaspoon seasoning (Bulk KFC Original Recipe Seasoning (Copycat))
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • NOTE: THIS RECIPE REQUIRES 2 1/2 TABLESPOONS OF MY Recipe #453973 FOR THE BREADING, PLUS 1 TEASPOON FOR THE GRAVY. (STEP ONE): GRIND 16 saltine crackers in a food processor until crumbly; ADD 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour and 2 1/2 tablespoons prepared Recipe #453973; PULSE mixture until it is coarsely powderized; POUR the mixture into a large resealable container or Ziploc bag.
  • FILL a large bowl with almost-hot water; SOAK cube steaks in water for a minute or two.
  • CUT cube steaks into serving-size portions (steaks will shrink, then puff slightly after frying); PLACE 1 cube steak at a time into the breading mixture container; SEAL container firmly; SHAKE container gently in all motions to thoroughly coat steaks until evenly and generously breaded.
  • PLACE breaded cube steaks on a wire rack; BREAD remaining steaks; ALLOW to rest and absorb the breading for a few minutes before frying.
  • PREHEAT the manufacturer's recommended amount frying fat in your deep-fryer to 315°F (OR) preheat enough fat to immerse cube steaks completely in deep heavy stovetop pot to 325°F (frying fat will drop to 315 -°F, which you will want to maintain, using a deep-fryer thermometer to gauge).
  • PREPARE the CREAM GRAVY: Melt 3 tablespoons salted butter or pork fat over medium low heat in a large saucepan, Stir in 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour. Cook until bubbly but not browned. Warm 2 cups milk in a microwave oven. Whisk constantly while adding warmed milk to butter/flour roux all at once, until smooth. Raise heat to medium-high then add 1 level teaspoon chicken bouillon powder, 3/4 teaspoon Recipe #453973, 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/8 teaspoon paprika. Whisk constantly until mixture begins to bubble. Reduce heat to medium. Cook until completely thickened and flavors develop, whisking often. Adjust seasonings to taste if desired (thin gravy if needed, with a few teaspoons of milk). Reduce heat to lowest setting. Cover gravy loosely and stir occasionally until served.
  • ADD breaded cube steaks one at a time, carefully with tongs into the deep-frying oil without crowding (if a standard size home fryer is used, add no more than 2-3 pieces at a time).
  • DEEP-FRY cube steaks about 7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked, depending on portion/size (when center reaches 145°F when tested with an instant-read thermometer).
  • PLACE cube steaks onto absorbent paper to drain.
  • SERVE with the cream gravy and enjoy!

CHICKEN-FRIED STEAK WITH CREAM



Chicken-Fried Steak With Cream image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 beef cube steaks (1 1/2 to 2 pounds total)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
Vegetable oil, for frying
Sliced scallions, for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the gravy: Melt the butter with the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, whisking, until smooth and deep golden brown, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and simmer, whisking to remove any lumps, until the gravy thickens, 4 to 6 minutes. Add 2 to 3 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Cover and remove from the heat.
  • Make the steak: Place the steaks between 2 pieces of heavy-duty plastic wrap and pound to 1/8 inch thick with a mallet or heavy skillet. Season generously with salt and pepper. Whisk the flour, baking powder and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, whisk the milk and eggs. One at a time, dredge each steak in the flour mixture, dip in the egg mixture, then return to the flour mixture, pressing firmly to coat. Transfer the breaded steaks to a rack.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Set another rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. One at a time, fry the steaks until golden brown, turning once, about 5 minutes (return the oil to 350 degrees F between each steak). Transfer the finished steaks to the rack on the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you make the rest.
  • Meanwhile, reheat the gravy. Stir in some water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the gravy is too thick. Drizzle the fried steak with the gravy and top with scallions.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH CREAM GRAVY



Chicken Fried Steak with Cream Gravy image

In Wyoming, simply grilling steak is not sufficient: It is tenderized, dredged in an egg mixture and flour and then pan-fried until it has a crispy, breaded exterior. Not indulgent enough for you? Serve your chicken fried steak with the Perini Ranch Steakhouse's cream gravy.

Provided by Food Network

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds (about 6 ounces each) rib eye steaks, 1/2-inch thick
3/4 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
2 to 3 cups flour
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Canola oil
3 heaping tablespoons flour
2 cups cold milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the steak: Trim any remaining fat off the steaks and, using a mallet or rolling pin, pound out the steaks to 1/4-inch thick.
  • Beat together the milk and egg in a shallow dish and set aside. Place the flour in a shallow dish, season well with the seasoning salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Cover the bottom of a large skillet, preferably cast iron, with enough oil to reach about 1/2-inch up the pan. Heat over medium-high heat.
  • Coat the steaks in the egg mixture, then the flour and then add to the pan. Cook until the juices begin to surface and the bottom is nice and brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the steaks and cook another 2 to 3 minutes more. Be careful to not overcook. Continue this process until all the steaks are cooked, placing the finished steaks on a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
  • After frying the steaks, prepare to make the gravy: Let the drippings in the pan sit until the excess browned bits of seasoning settle to the bottom of the skillet. Pour off most of the oil, leaving about 4 tablespoons behind with the brown bits. Add the flour, stirring until well mixed. Place the skillet back over medium-high heat and slowly add the milk while stirring constantly. Cook until the gravy comes to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with chicken fried steak.

CHICKEN-FRIED STEAK WITH CREAM GRAVY



Chicken-Fried Steak with Cream Gravy image

Chicken-fried steak an iconic dish found in many southern states and each state has its own delicious version. This recipe is a Texas-style CFS with lots of peppery, creamy gravy and a crispy crust that's flavored with onion and garlic powders, plus a hit of heat from paprika and hot sauce.

Provided by Rick Martinez

Categories     main-dish

Time 6h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Four 6-ounce top round steaks (London Broil)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups cornstarch
1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Frank's RedHot
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Pound each steak between 2 sheets of plastic wrap to 1/4 inch thick. Liberally sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper. Transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Whisk together the 1 1/2 cups flour with the cornstarch, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk and hot sauce in a medium bowl.
  • Working with one steak at a time, lightly dredge in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Dip in the buttermilk mixture, letting the excess drip off. Dredge again in the flour mixture, packing it onto the steaks and pressing firmly into crevices, and gently shake off the excess. Return the steaks to the same wire rack. (If time allows, refrigerate, uncovered, 2 to 6 hours. This rest time will ensure that the crust is extra crispy and adheres to the steak. Let the steaks stand at room temperature 30 minutes before frying.)
  • Meanwhile, make the gravy. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons flour until combined and cook until golden and bubbling, about 1 minute. Whisk in the milk, heavy cream, sugar, 1 teaspoon 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. (Cream gravy will seem very loose, but it will thicken as it sits.)
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat with enough oil to come halfway up the sides. Fit the skillet with a deep-fry thermometer then heat over high heat until the oil registers 375 degrees F. Fry the steaks in 2 batches until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Whisk the warm cream gravy to loosen and serve over the chicken-fried steaks.

COUNTRY-STYLE STEAK & GRAVY



Country-Style Steak & Gravy image

A true Southern classic! This is all about pleasure and taste, no worries about fat content, etc. A repeated request when both my kids are home. Nothing fancy, just great eating. Mashed potatoes are a must with this. If my mom is here, we have to double the gravy and make biscuits, but if she isn't here, I leave the biscuits off.....just an overload for me! We usually add a side of roasted green beans or asparagus. Put your treadmill on high the next day...you will need the extra exercise....but I've found it is worth it to see the enjoyment on my kids' faces. Freshly ground black pepper, and freshly ground sea salt make all the difference. Prep time does not include marinating time (2 hours). The recipe as posted is perfect for me, and I don't add any other seasonings. However, if you feel you have to ....add some garlic powder for extra flavor. Personally I don't think it needs it....tastes like Grandma's the way it is posted, and that is perfect to me.

Categories     Steak

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs cube steaks
1/2 tablespoon sea salt, freshly ground
1/2 tablespoon white vinegar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon black pepper, freshly ground
canola oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon sea salt, freshly ground
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Steps:

  • Combine 1/2 tbsp sea salt and 1/2 tbsp white vinegar with a cup of water in a bowl or pan large enough to hold your meat. Stir until salt is dissolved. Add the cubed steak, and add additional water to cover the meat. Let this rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours. This will flavor the meat and make it tender.
  • Combine 1 1/2 cups flour and 1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper; stir well. Remove the meat from the marinade, draining well. Dredge the meat in the flour mixture.
  • Pour oil into a heavy skillet, to a depth of 1/2 inches. Heat to 375 degrees. Add the meat and fry a few pieces at a time, 6 to 7 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and drain well on paper towels. Keep warm.
  • Drain the pan drippings until you only have 2 tbsp of oil in the skillet. Place the skillet over low heat. Add 2 tbsp flour, stirring until smooth. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened and bubbly. Stir in 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Serve the meat with the gravy. Enjoy.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet.
  • When dredging the steak in flour, be sure to coat it evenly on all sides.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet when frying the steak. Cook it in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the steak over medium-high heat until it is golden brown on both sides.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the steak for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
  • While the steak is cooking, make the cream gravy. Be sure to whisk the gravy constantly to prevent it from curdling.
  • Serve the steak immediately with the cream gravy.

Conclusion:

Kentucky Fried Steak with Cream Gravy is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a hit with the family. The steak is tender and juicy, and the cream gravy is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to become a favorite in your home.
