Chicken Fried Steak

If you are not from the Southern United States (where chicken friend steak comes from), you may be wondering what chicken and steak have to do with one another. Simply put, chicken friend steak is merely steak that has been breaded and friend like chicken, and this recipe is easy to make. However, you should note that true Southern chicken friend steak is not one of the healthiest things that you can eat (although it is mighty tasty), so reserve this recipe for special nights only.

You Will Need: one package of cubed steak, or steak cut into cubes; flour; salt and pepper; one beaten egg; bread crumbs; olive oil.

Tenderize: you will want to pound your steak until it is nice and tender, and then proceed with the recipe.

To Make: mix flour with salt and pepper and set aside. Then, dredge each piece of steak into the flour mixture, dip it into the beaten egg, and then coat each side of the meat with bread crumbs. Go through this process with each piece of meat until all sides are coated well.

Fry: add about ½ inch of olive oil to a deep pan and place the burner on high. Then – always place the meat away from you – put each piece of meat into the fryer, and allow the meat to cook until it is golden brown.

Most people serve this recipe with a thick buttery gravy, but you can eat it just like this as well. Chicken fried steak will easily become a family favorite, and it is an easy recipe to whip up when friends arrive as well.
