Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy

🍽️ Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy: A Southern Classic That Hits the Spot
Few dishes say “comfort food” like Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy. With its golden, crunchy coating, tender cube steak interior, and a generous pour of creamy, peppery gravy — it’s a meal that’s rich in tradition and even richer in flavor.

Despite the name, there’s no chicken involved. This Southern staple gets its name because it’s cooked in the same style as fried chicken: dredged in seasoned flour and pan-fried until crispy. Add a generous ladle of homemade gravy, and you’ve got a plate that’s as satisfying as it is soul-soothing.

📝 Ingredients
For the Steak:
4 cube steaks (tenderized round steak)

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk or buttermilk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Gravy:
1/4 cup flour (use the seasoned leftover dredge)

2 cups whole milk

Salt and plenty of black pepper, to taste

Optional: pinch of cayenne for a little kick

👨‍🍳 How to Make Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy
1. Set Up Your Breading Station
In one bowl, beat the eggs and milk together.
In another bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

2. Bread the Steaks
Dredge each cube steak in the seasoned flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and back into the flour. Press to make sure the flour sticks well.

3. Pan-Fry the Steaks
Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the steaks one or two at a time until golden brown and crispy — about 3–4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

4. Make the Gravy
Carefully pour off most of the oil, leaving about 2–3 tablespoons and any browned bits in the pan.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until lightly browned.
Slowly whisk in the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Season generously with salt and lots of black pepper.

5. Serve It Up
Place your chicken fried steak on a plate and pour the warm gravy over the top. Serve with mashed potatoes, green beans, or buttermilk biscuits for the full Southern experience.
