CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH CREAM GRAVY

Steps:

• To make Chicken Fried Steak: Heat a deep, heavy skillet with at least 1/2-inch of oil to 340 degrees F. Alternatively, heat oil in a deep fryer to 340 degrees F.
• Cut steak into 1/2-inch thick slices to make 6 (6-ounce) portions and remove any fat or gristle. Pound it with the coarse side of a tenderizing mallet until it is double in size and half as thick. In a shallow bowl, make an egg wash by combining the eggs and milk. In another shallow bowl or pan, make a seasoned breading by combining the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the steak in the seasoned flour, dip it in the egg wash, and then return it to the flour and push the flour into the steak with your fingers so that there are no moist spots. Immediately slide the steak into the hot oil, in batches as necessary to prevent overcrowding, and fry on 1 side until golden and crispy; then turn over and cook the rest of the way. The steaks are done when you lift them with a pair of tongs and they are stiff, not floppy. Keep warm while making the gravy.
• To make Cream Gravy: Mix the canola oil and flour in a saucepan and cook this roux over medium heat until it looks grainy and becomes slightly golden in color, just a couple of minutes. Remove from heat. Add pepper and salt and mix well. Add milk, return the pan to the heat, and increase heat to high. Whisk until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Add hot water to thin, if gravy is too thick. Remove from heat to prevent scorching. The gravy should be as thick as pancake batter. Pour over chicken fried steak and serve.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK AND CREAM GRAVY

Steps:

• Grab two dishes large enough to accommodate the steak. Combine the milk and egg in one and the flour and season salt in the other. I like to use plates with a turned up rim to keep things on the plate.
• Trim fat from steak and cut it into 4 pieces. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder and a little salt and pepper over the steaks. Rub the seasonings into the meat and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Now pound the meat using a meat tenderizer if possible or anything heavy if not. Pound until meat is thin, about 1/4 inch, yes even if it already tenderized. You want this to melt in your mouth.
• Heat enough shortening or oil in a large skillet- preferably cast iron- until the oil reaches 350 degrees. If you don't have a thermometer drop a little bit of flour in, the oil should sizzle nicely just like for fried chicken.
• Meanwhile, turn the steak in the flour one at a time and shake to remove any extra flour. Now dunk the meat into the egg wash and let the extra drip off. Now put the meat back in the flour and turn it well to coat the whole piece really good. Place the meat on a cooling rack and repeat til each piece is coated.
• When the oil reaches 350 degrees add the steak but do not overcrowd the pan. You may need to do this in two batches. Cook until golden brown and then turn to brown other side, again just like frying chicken. Remove to a cooling rack with a plate underneath to catch the oil and keep warm in the oven until all the meat is done.
• Cut the bacon into pieces about an inch in size and add to skillet that still has all the oil and drippings from the steaks. Fry until bacon is cooked and starts to brown but is not really crispy. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of oil and all the drippings you can in the pan for the gravy.
• Stir in the chopped green onion and the reserved bacon pieces. Sprinkle the flour over top and cook until the flour just starts to turn color a little. You want it to stay creamy in color so do not brown it. (I usually just use what is leftover from turning the meat)
• Meanwhile, pour milk in a glass measuring cup and microwave to warm it.
• Whisk milk into the flour in the pan stir often, cooking until gravy is as thick as you like it. Please adjust the amount of milk if you like so that it is the right consistency for you. Add salt coarse ground black pepper to taste.
• To serve: Place one piece of meat on plate and spoon gravy over meat. Add more salt and coarse ground black pepper on top if desired.
• You can garnish with a little extra chopped green onion and crumbled bacon if you wanna git fancy!
• Hope you enjoy!

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• For the steak: Begin with setting up an assembly line of dishes. Mix the milk with the eggs in one; the flour mixed with the seasoned salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, paprika and cayenne in another; and the meat in a third. Then have one clean plate at the end to receive the breaded meat.
• Work with one piece of meat at a time. Sprinkle both sides with kosher salt and black pepper, then place it in the flour mixture. Turn to coat. Place the meat into the milk/egg mixture, turning to coat. Finally, place it back in the flour and turn to coat (dry mixture/wet mixture/dry mixture). Place the breaded meat on the clean plate, then repeat with the remaining meat.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter. Drop in a few sprinkles of flour to make sure it's sufficiently hot. When the butter sizzles immediately, you know it's ready. (It should not brown right away, if it does, the fire is too hot.) Cook the meat, 3 pieces at a time, until the edges start to look golden brown, about 2 minutes each side. Remove the meat to a paper towel-lined plate and keep them warm by covering lightly with another plate or a sheet of foil. Repeat until all the meat is cooked.
• After all the meat is fried, pour off the grease into a heatproof bowl. Without cleaning the skillet, return it to the stove over medium-low heat. Add 1/4 cup of the grease back to the skillet and allow it to heat up.
• For the gravy: When the grease is hot, sprinkle the flour evenly over the grease. Using a whisk, mix the flour with the grease, creating a golden-brown paste. Add more flour if it looks overly greasy; add a little more grease if it becomes too pasty/clumpy. Keep cooking until the roux reaches a deep golden brown color.
• Pour in the milk, whisking constantly. Add the seasoned salt and black pepper to taste and cook, whisking, until the gravy is smooth and thick, 5 to 10 minutes. Be prepared to add more milk if it becomes overly thick. Be sure to taste to make sure gravy is sufficiently seasoned.
• Serve the meat next to a big side of mashed potatoes. Pour gravy over the whole shebang!

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH CREAM GRAVY

Steps:

• For the steak: Trim any remaining fat off the steaks and, using a mallet or rolling pin, pound out the steaks to 1/4-inch thick.
• Beat together the milk and egg in a shallow dish and set aside. Place the flour in a shallow dish, season well with the seasoning salt and pepper and set aside.
• Cover the bottom of a large skillet, preferably cast iron, with enough oil to reach about 1/2-inch up the pan. Heat over medium-high heat.
• Coat the steaks in the egg mixture, then the flour and then add to the pan. Cook until the juices begin to surface and the bottom is nice and brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the steaks and cook another 2 to 3 minutes more. Be careful to not overcook. Continue this process until all the steaks are cooked, placing the finished steaks on a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• After frying the steaks, prepare to make the gravy: Let the drippings in the pan sit until the excess browned bits of seasoning settle to the bottom of the skillet. Pour off most of the oil, leaving about 4 tablespoons behind with the brown bits. Add the flour, stirring until well mixed. Place the skillet back over medium-high heat and slowly add the milk while stirring constantly. Cook until the gravy comes to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with chicken fried steak.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK AND CREAM GRAVY

Steps:

• Dredge steak in seasoned flour, coat well. Transfer steak to a cutting board and using the "teeth" side of a meat mallet, pound the flour into the steak. The object is to bread the steak thoroughly. In a deep skillet heat enough oil and butter or lard and shortening to immerse steak until fairly hot. Immerse steak in oil and when nicely browned, cover, and simmer for a few moments, as when frying chicken. Repeat frying process until all steaks are cooked. Transfer steak(s) to a hot platter. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of fat from the pan, add the flour and whisking constantly add milk or water. Scrape up any brown particles left on the bottom of the pan and incorporate them into the gravy. Season with salt and pepper or ketchup to taste. Serve steaks with mashed potatoes and gravy.
