THE BEST CHICKEN-FRIED STEAK



The Best Chicken-Fried Steak image

A staple throughout Texas, chicken-fried steak consists of a thinly pounded beef cutlet that is battered and fried until crisp, then served with creamy country gravy. Adding cornstarch to the seasoned flour and dredging the meat twice gives our version an extra-crunchy and flavorful crust.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Four 3- to 4-ounce cube steaks (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups cornstarch
1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon hot sauce, such as Frank's RedHot
4 1/2 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Liberally sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper (see Cook's Note). Put them on a rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and let sit at room temperature while you make the gravy.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the flour until combined and cook until golden and bubbling, about 1 minute. Whisk in the whole milk, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, whisking frequently, until the gravy boils. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, whisking occasionally, until the gravy thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm; it will seem loose but will thicken as it sits.
  • Whisk the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk, egg and hot sauce in a medium bowl. Working with 1 steak at a time, dredge in the seasoned flour, turning to coat and packing into the crevices. Shake to remove any excess and return to the rack. Repeat with the remaining steaks.
  • Pour 3 tablespoons of the buttermilk mixture into the seasoned flour and work it in with your fingers; it should feel like wet sand with some clumps. (These clumps will give the steak a crispy, shaggy crust.) Dip the dredged steaks into the remaining buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Pack the moistened flour firmly onto each steak. Very gently shake off any excess and return to the rack. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Pour the oil into a large cast-iron skillet fitted with a deep-fry thermometer (the oil should come about halfway up the sides). Heat the oil over high heat until the thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Fry the steaks in 2 batches until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Whisk the warm cream gravy to loosen it and serve over the chicken-fried steak.

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 to 8 ounce tenderized beef cutlets (pork cutlets may be used)
3/4 cup coconut oil for frying
2 large eggs beaten
4 cups milk (reserve 2 cups for gravy)
1 1/2 cups flour (reserve 1/4 cup for gravy)
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon tobasco sauce
salt and pepper to taste
2 teaspoons special seasoning (recipe below)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
special seasoning recipe:
1/2 cup kosher sea salt
1/4 cup ground black pepper
2 tablespoons white ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1/4 cup garlic powder
2 tablespoons hungarian paprika
2 tablespoons dry minced onions

Steps:

  • 1. Cook's Tip: Please read through the recipe before making it. Thanks!
  • 2. MAKE THE SPECIAL SEASONING: Combine in a pint jar with a tight lid the following spices: 1/2 cup kosher sea salt, 1/4 cup ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons white ground pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, 2 tablespoons minced onions, 2 tablespoons ground cumin, 1/4 cup garlic powder, and 2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika. Shake to mix. Keep Special Seasoning for future Chicken Fried Steaks, other meats, or use your leftover chicken fried steaks to make my Almost Campbell's Vegetable Beef Soup: https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/bonnie-dare/almost-campbells-vegetable-beef-soup-bonnies/beef?k=beef+soup+bonnie%27s&p=1&o=r
  • 3. EQUIPMENT: You will need two pie plates, one for the egg and milk mixture, and one for the flour. An electric skillet is perfect to make this dish, but you can use any heavy skillet. PREPARE THE RAW MEAT: You will need 4 large 6 to 8 ounce tenderized beef cutlets at room temperature. MAKE THE EGG WASH: Combine in a large pie plate: 2 large eggs, beaten with 2 cups milk at room temperature, whisk until smooth. Set aside. MAKE THE FLOUR COATING: Add 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour to a pie plate for dredging. Add two teaspoons of the Special Seasoning to the flour, mix well. HEAT UP THE SKILLET: coconut oil to fry, 3/4 cup melted in a 350 degree electric skillet. DREDGE THE STEAKS AND FRY THEM: This is a 3 step process! Dredge each of the 4 cutlets in the FLOUR FIRST, and then in the egg wash mixture, and then BACK IN THE FLOUR. Make sure they are well coated and gently lower them into the hot oil. This process is crucial to get the nice thick Chicken Fried Steak crust we all love. Fry the steaks 3 to 5 minutes on each side until they are a lovely golden brown. Turn with tongs. When done, remove to a platter. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  • 4. MAKE THE WHITE GRAVY: 3 tablespoons oil from skillet drippings you fried the meat in. (Remove all but 3 tablespoons of the oil) Make sure you leave any cracklings or brown bits in the skillet. You will need 1/4 cup flour, 2 cups of milk, 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce. Salt and black pepper to taste. Place the flour in the skillet and stir into the hot oil, and make a white roux. Slowly add the 2 cups of milk, to make a white gravy, adding more milk if it is too thick until it is just right to serve. Before serving, add the worcestershire sauce and the tobasco sauce.
  • 5. TO SERVE: Place a steak on the plate, ladle a generous helping of gravy over the top of the steak and serve with mashed potatoes and a vegetable. Enjoy!

THE BEST CHICKEN FRIED STEAK



The Best Chicken Fried Steak image

I received this recipe from a co-worker about 5 years ago. This is by far the best chicken fried steak I've ever had. I've made this numerous times for my picky eater son and my southern-raised better half, as well as other family and friends. I get nothing but rave reviews each time.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (1/2 pound) beef cube steaks
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon black pepper
¾ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups buttermilk
1 egg
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™)
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups vegetable shortening for deep frying
¼ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups milk
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Pound the steaks to about 1/4-inch thickness. Place 2 cups of flour in a shallow bowl. Stir together the baking powder, baking soda, pepper, and salt in a separate shallow bowl; stir in the buttermilk, egg, Tabasco Sauce, and garlic. Dredge each steak first in the flour, then in the batter, and again in the flour. Pat the flour onto the surface of each steak so they are completely coated with dry flour.
  • Heat the shortening in a deep cast-iron skillet to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Fry the steaks until evenly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Place fried steaks on a plate with paper towels to drain. Drain the fat from the skillet, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid and as much of the solid remnants as possible.
  • Return the skillet to medium-low heat with the reserved oil. Whisk the remaining flour into the oil. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a spatula to release solids into the gravy. Stir in the milk, raise the heat to medium, and bring the gravy to a simmer, cook until thick, 6 to 7 minutes. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Spoon the gravy over the steaks to serve.
