RANCHERO CHICKEN FRIED STEAK W/COUNTRY STYLE GRAVY



Ranchero Chicken Fried Steak W/Country Style Gravy image

Lots of chicken fried steak recipes out there but it's the ranch dressing mix ingredient in this recipe that makes for a great tasting flavor in the breading. I also like this recipe because it calls for cube steak; a cut of meat that is inexpensive yet I have trouble finding recipes on s variety of ways to prepare it. Great for those busy weeknight dinners when you have to have dinner on the table in a flash. I bread my meat the night before and refrigerate, to save some time.

Tips:

- Use good quality beef for the best flavor. Look for a steak that is evenly marbled with fat. - Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. - Cook the steak over medium-high heat to get a good sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy. - Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help to redistribute the juices throughout the meat. - Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or vegetables.
