Chicken Fried Steak

This Chicken Fried Steak has a thick crispy golden brown coating and creamy white gravy on top. It's a classic Southern favorite.
Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk, or buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 pounds cube steak
  • 1 cup *oil
  • White Gravy

Instructions 

  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a separate shallow bowl or plate, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, pepper, salt and garlic powder.
  • Dredge the cube steak in the flour and coat completely on both sides. Use your fingers to really press/rub the flour mixture into the meat. 
  • Transfer the flour coated steak to the milk/egg bowl and cover both sides with the milk and egg mixture. 
  • Then transfer the steak back into the flour mixture one more time and coat on both sides. Set aside and repeat with the remaining steaks.
  • Add the oil to a large frying pan over medium to medium-high heat.  Once you think the oil is hot, do a test drop with a pinch of flour. If the flour sizzles, the oil is ready to add the steaks. If it doesn’t, continue to let the oil heat and test again. 
  • Once oil is hot, add the breaded steaks to the skillet (as many as you can fit without overlapping the steaks). Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until perfectly golden brown and cooked through. 
  • Place cooked steaks on a serving plate and repeat the process until all of the steaks have been cooked.
  • Serve immediately with white gravy!

Notes

*Any high heat oil will work: avocado oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil.
