Chicken-Fried Steak With Queso Gravy image

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound beef top round, cut into 4 equal-size pieces
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 cups flour
2 eggs
1/4 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Place the pieces of steak under plastic wrap or parchment paper, and use a meat hammer or the back of a small pan to pound each to a uniform 1/4-inch thickness, roughly doubling its surface size. Heat oven to 200. Pour 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch of oil into a cast-iron or other large, heavy skillet, and place over medium-high heat.
  • Combine salt, pepper, cumin and cayenne pepper in a small bowl, then use the mixture to season the meat aggressively, massaging the spices into the meat.
  • ut the flour into a large zip-top bag or baking dish. Beat eggs and milk together in a bowl. Shake each piece of steak in the bag of flour or press into the dish of flour, making sure both sides are well coated. Shake off excess flour, dip steak into milk mixture, and then again into the flour. Shake off excess, and place steak on a large plate or sheet pan. Repeat with remaining steaks.
  • When the oil has reached 300 degrees, or a flick of flour sizzles in it furiously, work in batches to cook the steaks in the pan, so that they have room around them, probably just two steaks per batch. They will pop and hiss. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until juices start to bubble out of the top of the coating, then use tongs to turn the pieces over gently, and cook the other side 3 to 4 minutes longer, until they are crisp and golden brown. Transfer cooked steaks to a sheet pan, and keep warm in the oven.
  • Remove steaks from oven and serve, topping each steak with queso gravy and, if you like, some pico de gallo or favorite salsa.

I'm not a fan of queso, so I used a different gravy recipe. The chicken fried steak was still delicious.

The chicken fried steak was a bit dry, but the queso gravy helped to make it more moist.

The chicken fried steak was delicious, but the queso gravy was a bit too cheesy for my taste. Next time I will use less cheese.
