Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy is a beloved dish that brings warmth and satisfaction with every bite. This classic comfort food combines tender cube steaks with a crispy coating, served alongside rich and flavorful gravy. In this article, we’ll explore the step-by-step process of creating this mouthwatering dish, from preparing the steak to making the perfect gravy.

Ingredients:

INGREDIENT QUANTITY
Cube steaks 4 (about 1/2 pound each)
All-purpose flour 1 cup
Garlic powder 1 teaspoon
Onion powder 1 teaspoon
Paprika 1 teaspoon
Kosher salt 2 teaspoons
Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon
Large eggs 2
Milk 1/4 cup
Vegetable oil For frying

For the Gravy:

INGREDIENT QUANTITY
Pan drippings 1/4 cup
All-purpose flour 2 tablespoons
Whole milk 2 cups
Salt and pepper To taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Breading Mixture: Start by whisking together the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish. This mixture will serve as the breading for the steak.
  2. Prepare the Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. This egg wash will help the breading adhere to the steak.
  3. Coat the Steaks: Dredge each cube steak in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip the coated steak in the egg wash, then back into the flour mixture for a second coating. Place the coated steaks on a wire rack to set.
  4. Fry the Steaks: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated steaks to the skillet in batches, if necessary. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked steaks to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  5. Make the Gravy: Pour off any excess oil from the skillet, leaving about 1/4 cup of pan drippings. Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and whisk until it forms a golden paste. Gradually pour in the whole milk, whisking continuously, until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the chicken fried steaks hot, topped with generous spoonfuls of creamy gravy. Pair with your favorite sides for a comforting and satisfying meal.
