MOCK CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH MILK GRAVY



Mock Chicken Fried Steak With Milk Gravy image

My mother made these for us four girls. Money was tight and she couldn't afford steak very often. These use ground beef. I use a 80/20 lean to fat. You can use ground round but it tends to be a little too dry. This is great with mashed potatoes. Everyone I have ever made it for loved it. The first time my DH had it he never knew it was ground beef. He just commented on the tenderness of the steak!

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.

2 large eggs

  • In a large heavy skillet heat 1/2 inch of oil over moderately high heat until it is hot.
  • Fry the steak strips in batches, turning them once, for 3 minutes, and transfer them to paper towels to drain.

CHICKEN-FRIED STEAK WITH SPICED MILK GRAVY



Chicken-Fried Steak with Spiced Milk Gravy image

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Eight 4-ounce 1/4-inch-thick eye of round steaks, needled or pounded and tenderized
1 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons smashed brined peppercorns
1 teaspoon brining liquid from the peppercorns
2 dashes hot sauce
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • For the marinade: Soak the tenderized steaks in the buttermilk for 1 hour or up to overnight. This will help tenderize the meat. For the spiced milk gravy: Like any good gravy, we are starting out with a simple roux of equal parts butter and flour. Melt the butter in a medium saucepot over medium heat, then whisk in the flour. Cook the flour and butter until it's a light blond color (just enough to cook the raw taste out), about 2 minutes, and then whisk in the broth and milk. Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the Worcestershire sauce, peppercorns, brine, hot sauce and salt to taste and bring back to a simmer. Check for seasoning and set aside until ready to use. For the chicken-fried steaks: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Add the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, baking soda, cayenne and onion powder to a shallow baking dish. Remove the steaks from the buttermilk and place each steak in the flour mixture, coating all of the sides and shaking off the excess. Next, dip the steaks back into the buttermilk, coating them on all sides and allowing the excess to drip off. Return to the flour mixture once again, shaking off the excess. Reserve the flour mixture for dredging the steak a third time for an extra-crispy crust after resting. Let the steaks sit on a wire rack in the fridge 30 minutes (this will help the coating to really adhere to the chicken-fried steak). Then re-dredge in the seasoned flour just before frying. Heat 1-inch vegetable oil in large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. Working in batches of two at a time, place the steaks in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, using tongs to turn once, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Repeat the process with all the steaks. Transfer the chicken-fried steaks to individual plates. Spoon the Spiced Milk Gravy over the steak and serve immediately.

FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH BROWN MILK GRAVY



Fried Pork Chops With Brown Milk Gravy image

This is the way we cooked pork chops in my younger days down south. It is NOT a recipe for those beautiful thick chops that need tender care. It IS a recipe for quick, tasty meat with good old down home taste, and gnawing on the bone if you never make it to the gravy. Bone-in chops add a lot more flavor and they taste great with mashed potatoes. For those who grew up with brown gravy made with water, just substitute water for the milk/cream.

Provided by ninja

Categories     Pork

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pork chops (I like bone-in rib chops, not too thick)
seasoning salt or salt and pepper
1/4 cup flour, plus
2 tablespoons flour, for gravy, if making
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons butter, more if needed for gravy
1 teaspoon oil
2 cups milk or 2 cups cream

Steps:

  • Trim excess fat from chops. Season chops with seasoned salt or salt and pepper.
  • Mix flour with 2 teaspoons seasoned salt, dry mustard, pepper and paprika. Adjust seasonings as needed. If making gravy, remove 2 tablespoons seasoned flour and set aside for gravy to prevent lumps. Coat chops with remaining flour mixture.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter and oil in skillet over medium high heat until hot.
  • If NOT making gravy, brown chops on both sides until done. Drain on paper towels, then serve.
  • If making gravy, add floured chops to pan and brown on both sides, about 3-5 minutes per side. Remove chops to drain on paper towels, then cover and keep warm.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Check pan to make sure you have 2 tablespoons of drippings; if not, add butter or oil as needed.
  • Add 2 tablespoons reserved flour to make the roux. Stir until smooth and dark brown.
  • Lower heat and gradually add milk, stirring constantly until temperature reduces. Then stir frequently until gravy reaches desired consistency. Check seasonings and adjust as needed.
  • Return chops to pan and simmer in gravy until hot and tender or, if chops are done and you prefer, just ladle gravy on top and serve.

GRAVY (MILK FREE RECIPE)



GRAVY (MILK FREE RECIPE) image

Categories     Sauce     turkey     Sauté     Christmas     Easter     Thanksgiving     Quick & Easy     Dinner

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 Tablespoons oil (olive, bacon grease, canola, etc) I personally use olive.
3 Tablespoons flour
1 tsp pepper
1 chicken, beef or vegetable boullion cube
3/4 cup water

Steps:

  • In a pan, heat olive oil. Add pepper and boullion cube. Stir for about a minute. Add flour, quickly stirring to make a paste. If the paste is a little 'dry' add a few drops of oil until it's kind of clumpy. Sautee your lumpy sauce until lightly brown, add cold water to pan, quickly stirring. If you add hot water, your flour will cook fast and you will end up with a hot lumpy mess. Continue to stir until you have a liquid cloudy mixture. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat. If sauce is a little thin, cook at a simmer until you reach desired thickness. Use as you would most gravy.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH MILK GRAVY, ADAPTED FROM THE PIONEER WOMAN RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Chicken Fried Steak with Milk Gravy, adapted from the Pioneer Woman Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 13

For the gravy:
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
6 cube steaks , about 5 ounces each, pounded to 1/3 inch thickness
4 to 5 cups peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
1/4 cup grease (from the pan, after cooking the steaks)
1/3 cup flour
2 cups milk (note:I used 1 1/2 cups milk and 1/4 chicken stock)
Kosher salt & fresh cracked pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • NOTE: Getting the initial oil temperature to 375°F is key to the success of this recipe. An instant-read thermometer with a high upper range is perfect for checking the temperature; a clip-on candy/deep-fry thermometer is also fine. If your Dutch oven measures 11 inches across , you will need to fry the steaks in two batches. For the steaks: Measure the flour, 5 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and cayenne into a large shallow dish. In a second large shallow dish, beat the egg, baking powder, and baking soda; stir in the buttermilk (the mixture will bubble and foam). Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and sprinkle each side with salt and pepper to taste. Drop the steaks into the flour and shake the pan to coat. Shake excess flour from each steak, then, using tongs, dip the steaks into the egg mixture, turning to coat well and allowing the excess to drip off. Coat the steaks with flour again, shake off the excess, and place them on the wire rack. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position, set a second wire rack over a second rimmed baking sheet, and place the sheet on the oven rack; heat the oven to 200°F. NOTE: keeping the steaks warm, over a wire rack, prevents the Line a large plate with a double layer of paper towels. Meanwhile, heat 1 inch of oil in a large (11-inch diameter) Dutch oven (I used a cast-iron skillet) over medium-high heat to 375 degrees. Place the steaks (do in two batches, rather than crowding the pan) in the oil and fry, turning once, until deep golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes (oil temperature will drop to around 335°F). Transfer the steaks to the paper towel-lined plate to drain, then transfer them to the wire rack in the oven. Bring the oil back to 375 degrees and repeat the cooking and draining process (use fresh paper towels) with the three remaining steaks. For the gravy: After frying the meat, pour off the fat into a heat proof bowl. Without cleaning the pan, return it to the stove over medium-low heat. Add 1/4 cup grease back to the pan. allow the grease to heat up. Sprinkle about 1/3 cup flour evenly over the fat. Using a whisk, mix the flour with the fat, creating a golden brown paste. This is knows as a "roux", and you want the roux to attain a deep, rich color. If the paste seems more oily the pasty, sprinkle in another tablespoon of lour. Whisk again and check the consistency. After a couple of minutes, the paste will start to turn golden brown. That's when it's ready for the next step. Whisking constantly, pour in 2 cups milk. Whisk to combine, then let the gravy thicken gradually. If it seems too thick at first, at splashes of milk, as needed-- whisking to combine. As you cook and thicken the gravy, be prepared to splash in more milk if it becomes overly thick. The total cooking process should take 5-10 minutes. Generously season the gravy with kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper, tasting it as you go along. According to the Pioneer Woman, under seasoned gravy is one of life's great sacrileges. Place the warm meat on a plate, with a pile of mashed potatoes and drizzle with a little gravy (or a lot). Total comfort food, don't even think about making it low-fat. Exercise, fast after eating-- becasue this is really delicious. Men love it!
