"It's called chicken fried steak because it has a chicken coating. This is also known as country fried steak."

Step 1

Place 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup milk, and eggs in 3 separate shallow bowls in the working area.

Step 2

Mix 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and the paprika into the flour and mix well.

Step 3

Season both sides of cube steaks with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 4

Dip cube steaks in milk, then dredge in seasoned flour.

Step 5

Dip floured steaks in egg wash, then again in the seasoned flour.

Step 6

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet on medium heat and do half the cube steaks at a time, or work with two skillets, if you desire.

Step 7

Brown the cube steaks on each side, cooking until done; remove from heat and set the steaks aside.

Step 8

Drain all but 1 tbsp oil (if any- I don't usually have any, but the steaks are less greasy with less oil) from the pans.

Step 9

Add enough butter to the pan to equal 3 tbsp along with the oil.

Step 10

Melt the butter and add 3 tbsp flour and stir with a whisk to make a roux, deglazing the bottom of the pan, and cook for a few minutes on LOW heat; do not burn.

Step 11

Slowly add the remaining 2 cups milk, and stir or whisk constantly until mixture comes to a boil and thickens; cook for another minute or so and remove from heat.

Step 12

Serve Country Fried Steaks (Chicken Fried Steak, as we call it) with plenty of gravy on top, and mashed potatoes on the side (double gravy recipe if you use a LOT of gravy on your potatoes, etc).

This recipe was made on 7/11/18 for mine and my SO's dinner ,but most importantly for the " Alphabet Soup Recipe Tag " game. As a personal preference , Pork cube steak was used instead of the beef. Since I only had a pound of meat,the amount of ingredients were adjusted accordingly . I've had several Chicken Fried Steak recipes in my time ,and I think that this recipe rates right up there with some of the best. I'm also pleased to be the first one to rate & review this " hidden jewel ". Thanks for posting and " Keep Smiling :) "
