Chicken Fried Steak

Step 1

Pour oil to a depth of 1/4-inch in a large skillet. Place over medium heat while you prepare the cubed steaks.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl or pie plate, stir together the flour, salt, and pepper. In another shallow bowl, pour the milk.

Step 3

Dip each piece of meat into the milk on both sides, then the flour mixture on both sides. Then dip them back into the milk on both sides, and back into the flour mixture on both sides. Repeat until both pieces of meat are breaded.

Step 4

Carefully place steaks in the hot oil and cook until golden brown on both sides (about 8-10 minutes). Remove to a paper towel-lined plate while you prepare the gravy.

Step 5

Drain off all grease except for 3-4 tablespoons. Add flour to grease and stir over medium heat until flour is brown (just 1-2 minutes).

Step 6

Reduce heat to low and pour in the milk while stirring constantly. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir over low heat until gravy is of desired thickness. Add more milk if it becomes too thick.

Step 7

Pour gravy over the fried steak and serve with mashed potatoes and biscuits if you like.
