THE BEST CHICKEN-FRIED STEAK
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.

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.
ROUTE 66 CHICKEN FRIED STEAK SANDWICH
When I moved to Oklahoma from Florida, I learned "Okies" love their chicken fry. In fact, if you ask someone who has ever traveled old Route 66 from Miami (Okies pronounce this My-am-uh) to the town of Texola what's the worst food you can eat they'll likely say "chicken fried steak". The best thing you can eat on Route 66? That would also be chicken fried steak. As contradictory as it may seem it's true! I tried to lighten this dish up by air frying, but feel free to grab a cast iron skillet and cook these steaks up too!

Steps:
- Combine milk, cola, and steak sauce in a large resealable dish or bag and add the tenderized round steak. Marinate for 30 minutes, or overnight.
- Combine flour, salt, pepper, paprika, granulated onion, and granulated garlic for the chicken fry breading in a shallow dish. Whip egg in a second shallow dish until light and frothy for the chicken dip. Add buttermilk, salt, and pepper.
- Drain steaks from the steak marinade and dredge in chicken fry mixture, shaking off excess. Then dredge in the chicken dip mixture, allow excess to drip off. Dredge in the chicken fry mixture again, shaking off excess. Place steaks on a sheet pan and press any remaining flour mixture onto the steaks. Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place steaks in the air fryer basket. Lightly coat with vegetable oil spray.
- Air fry for 4 minutes. Carefully turn steaks and coat the other side with vegetable oil spray. Air-fry for another 4 minutes. Serve each steak on a toasted bun, topped with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayonnaise.
