Chicken Fried Steak W/Cream Gravy image

This is a recipe for Chicken Fried Steak, one of the staple foods of Texas. Like with fried chicken, folks in each family or restaurant tend to have their own little "secrets" to preparing Chicken Fried Steak, so you can play with the recipe a bit. But if it don't include the cream gravy, it ain't been prepared right and it ain't a "secret" worth keeping.

This is the best chicken fried steak recipe I've ever tried! The steak was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the cream gravy was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.
