Everyone loves chicken fried steak and here is a twist on classic "stick to your ribs" meal. The perfect comfort meal to please adults and children.
Ingredients:
1 lb cubed steak - season with salt & pepper
Batter:
1 egg
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ cups buttermilk
Dredge:
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
Gravy:
1 tablespoon flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups milk (I used about 1 1/2 cups, add slowly and adjust to your desired gravy thickness)
Preparation:
- Season steak with a pinch of salt and pepper, then cut steak into bite-size pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine all batter ingredients. Whisk until all ingredients are mixed through.
- Preheat about an inch (2 cm) of oil to 350˚F (180˚C) into a heavy, high-sided skillet or pan.
- In a medium bowl, add flour and salt. Place steak into the flour, then batter, and then into the flour again.
- Lower the steak bites into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook each side for 4 minutes or until golden brown.
- Transfer it onto a drying rack and season with salt.
- Discard the oil on the pan, but leave some oil for the gravy. In the same bowl, add flour, milk, and salt, and mix until thicken.
- Dip the steaks into the gravy and enjoy!
Great with a side of mashed potatoes!
