Chicken Fried Steak?

[Thunder69]

Does anyone have a recipe for Chicken Fried Steak????
I had this place in NY that made the BEST, I had it in TX and it blew my mind, I live in Cali now and they can't make Chicken Fried Steak if their life depended on it..... I am really surprised I havent seen them change the recipe to Chicken Fried Avocado, freaky Cali people and their avocados, not that their is anything wrong with it
I know how to cook, and am looking for the best recipe in Lit. I will make all the recipes I receive and give full feedback if you want. Thanks

Ingredients
1 pound beef top round steak, cut 1/2 inch thick
3/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1-1/2 teaspoons snipped fresh basil or oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil or oregano, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 beaten egg
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 small onion, sliced and separated into rings
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1-1/3 cups milk


Directions
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cooking Time: 51 minutes


1. Cut steak into 4 serving-size pieces. Trim fat. Place meat pieces between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Pound meat with a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness.

2. In a dish or on a piece of waxed paper combine bread crumbs, basil or oregano, salt, and pepper. In another shallow dish stir together egg and the 1 tablespoon milk. Dip meat pieces in egg mixture, then coat with bread crumb mixture.

3. In a 12-inch skillet brown meat pieces in hot oil over medium heat about 3 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 45 to 60 minutes more or until tender. Transfer meat pieces to a platter. Cover to keep warm.

4. For gravy, cook onion in pan drippings until tender but not brown. (Add more oil, if necessary.) Stir in flour. Add the 1-1/3 cups milk all at once. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve gravy with meat. Makes 4 servings.

I used to love chicken fried steak myself. My son wanted it to be the main dish at a party for him --I think I made 40 ,and of those we had several that we froze for later--they were wonderful. (I got so sick of them though that I don't eat them regularly--but, lol-i am sitting here about to chow on my son's leftovers from Kelly's. MMMMMMMMMMM.)

 

[Thunder69]

Blondgirl? I dunno if you were having a moment, or you forgot to give me a recipe for it. DONT TEASE ME!

 

[BlondGirl]

I did it just like I fry everything that I do (We had fried green tomatos too.).

I was too cheap to use a mallet so I used my regular hammer. Hammer it down to super thin and then dip it in your wet mix (milk, eggs, whatever). Dip that in your dry mix (flour and spices or breading--I prefer flour). Important--REDIP in each mix--this gives you the best breading. Then fry.
(If I am doing this with chicken, I boil the chicken first--this way I KNOW damned good and well it will be done!!!!! Old southern granny trick.)

Try it with a small piece of meat to try it out--won't take but 5 minutes. You can experiment with the spice mix. (I always use plain old salt and fresh ground pepper--Love the stuff!!!!)

After cooking, it is nice to put it in the oven on low on a papertowel to degrease it as much as possible. This is definately a thigh-increaser!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and the gravy. You gotta use the white gravy--flour, grease, and milk. I usually prefer bacon gravy on mine. If you are lazy, you can buy an excellent variety in a jar by Heinz.

okay, what I want to know is how to fry green tomatoes.. or more specifically, are they special 'green tomatoes' or just unripened red ones??

i've always wanted to try it..

 

[BlondGirl]

I just pick heavy green ones. Not the ones that are nearly white from lack of sun either--but the ones that are fully green and full of the vitamins and have a bit of bite to them.
Of course, at the beginning of the season, who can be picky???

(Just slice them and fry as above. One tomato fried makes an excellent non-diet-day lunch! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM)

Chicken Fried Steak

This is a purely Southern recipe for this stuff...

Round steak pounded to paper thin if not with a meat mallet you can also use the side of a fairly thin sandwich plate, does the job just fine.
Eggs~beaten
Waverly Crackers~crushed
Spices~to taste
Flour~for gravy
Vegetable Oil
Milk
After you've beat the hell out of the steak, cut it in desired sized pieces, dip in egg, then crumbs,repeat egg and crumb. In deep frying pan, preferrably a cast iron one, heat oil until a drop of watter sizzles and evaporates, place meat in and cook over medium fire appoximately 3 to 5 minutes until browned on both sides. That should have the meat cooked to medium well, remember how thin it is, automatically means it don't take long to cook it!
Remove meat and drain most of the oil from skillet, leave drippings in the pan, add flour to remaining oil and stir rapidly until it too browns. Add milk to flour and oil stirring with wire wisk or egg beater so as not to have lumps! continue stirring till it thickens, reduce heat and allow to simmer, the longer it simmers the better it tastes,i usually add a little beef boullion to it to enhance the flavor, add salt and pepper to taste.
Ta-Da! Southern fried chicken steak and gravy!

White Bread Crumbs
Salt
Pepper
Little bit of Garlic powder
Salt
Pepper
Steak
Eggs, beaten

Mix crumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Pound the snot out of the steak between two pieces of wax paper (I'm a nonconventional sort, I use a wooden rolling pin, more even distribution of thwacking)
Dip in egg
Dip in crumbs
Dip in second egg bath
dip in crumbs

Heat oil (I generally use peanut oil)
Fry in a skillet, preferably cast iron (I use the 60 year old Griswald Cast Iron skillet my grandmother passed to me, the thing is PERFECT for chicken or chicken fried steak)
Reserve out Drippings, remove oil. Add a couple pinches of flour, whisk continually until brown. Milk, flour, let simmer once fully combined.
Please Note: This is Called "Husbands Nerves Shooter" in our family, due to the fact that the women I'm decended from through my mother (shy and demure southern roses), had a habit of using either a Griswald, or a Rolling pin, to keep a husband's vows. It worked.

We must be descendants from the same line... My Great grandmother had one of those frying pans too that was passed down. It's really thin now on the bottom because she used it on a wood burning stove, and I am the proud current owner of said pan..

Ahh, the worst that's ever happened to one of the family Griswalds is that the PD of a LA town my family had a tendril is confiscated my Great Aunt Marie's. They needed it for evidence, since she used it to knock out a robber.
