Chicken Fried Steak
Ingredients
FIRST STAGE: Mix the following and store in a jar where it is cool.
- 1/2 cup kosher salt
- 1/4 cup black pepper
- 2 tbs white pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tbs minced onion dry
- 1 1/2 tbs cumin ground
- 1/4 cup garlic powder
- 2 tbs paprika
SECOND STAGE:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 quart milk whole, at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- canola oil to fry, at least 2 cups in a flat pan.
- 8 6 oz beef chuck cutlets flattened and tenderized with a mallet
- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Whisk eggs and 2 cups mild in a bowl, reserve. Mix 2 teaspoons of the seasoning and 2 cups flour in a bowl, reserve. Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet to 350 Dredge each beef cutlet in flour dip in egg wash, let extra drip off Dredge in flour again, shake off extra flour Use LONG tongs to lower into oil Cook until golden brown avout 3-4 minutes, flip cook another 3 minutes remove with a spider, place on paper towel to drain Cook all, keep warm
Gravy
- Drain all but 3 tablespoons oil from skillet. Heat the oil over medium stir in the 1/4 cup flour, keep stirring... make a WHITE roux. Gradually add the remaining 2 cups milk, slowly . Stir until it is as thick as you like. Remove from heat season with Worcestershire, Tabasco, salt and pepper. Place a cutlet on each plate, drench with gravy. Serve with potatoes and veggie .. Now when they make it there.... they deep fry it.. I do the same at home. They also make the gravy 16, gallons at time and add roasted bone marrow to that... I have used the packaged white gravy that I get from a restaurant supply company or Sam’s as it speeds things up, Just season it up like listed above. But, this is how they listed it and I wanted to share...
Notes
