Well, thank you everyone. I combined advice with the pre-seasoned all-purpose flour (went shopping in the snow this afternoon!), bought a slightly higher grade of meat "eye of round steak tenderized", came home, fired up the Canola in a pan, and ten minutes later I had four chicken fried steaks ready to go! I already ate two...they were good! Now I know how to do it
Thanks very much! Dang, it's so easy too!
Actually, I'm fixin' to make some venison steaks, for supper tonight, along with mashed taters, a veggie, and some Sour Cream Butter Biscuits, (my son really likes these). And, using the egg & milk wash, and double-dipping in the flour is the best way to do it, in my opinion. Good eating!
You first beat an egg in a bowl. Then add milk and beat with the egg. You dip the cubed steak in flour. Then dip the steak into the egg/milk wash, then back into the flour. Place in hot oil, salt and pepper to taste (add onion if you like it) and brown on both sides, turning them only once. Place lid on the skillet while 2nd side is cooking/browning - this keeps in the moisture and makes the coating just right. Serve with hot gravy made from the drippings in the pan, minus the excess oil. Brown the flour well before adding milk to avoid that "raw flour" taste in the gravy.
This recipe is close to the "REAL" recipe that my mother made when I was growing up. One big difference...instead of dipping the steak back into the flour a second time, dip the steak into crushed saltine crackers then you end up with a "chicken fried coating" that is probably 1/4 inch thick. Also, use eye of round steaks that have been hand pounded so as to be tender, but not too thin.
Wow, I may have to go make some now....that is what I get for getting on line at dinner time.
I used to live in Texas (10 years) and loved the chicken fried steak !
I got in the city of Whitehouse who advertized "second best CFS in texas"
Never found out who had better but was sure happy with theirs.
Still hunger for some that good!
I have used Panko breading in the past instead of flour, it tastes so much better. I learned this from a Japanese restuarant owner. Now that I'm manly vegetarian I use morning star chicken pattys.
I don't even add milk to the eggs, just dip them in eggs, then flour, and sprinkle with lots of garlic and onion powder, also Jane's Krazy mixed up salt and pepper.
