Southern Chicken-Fried Steak

David and I love Chicken Fried Steak and so when I found this recipe on Mr Food Kitchen I knew I would like to try it out as I make my own and I taught David to make it as well. Everyone who tries my it quickly becomes one of there favorite meals. But since this one uses things I do not use with mine. I am going to purchase the items I need to make there's and once I do I am going to do a contest and see whose is tastier.

You don't have to be from the South to enjoy this down-home favorite. We like topping off this easy chicken dinner with some homemade gravy and a side of mashed potatoes and beans for a homestyle dinner worth making again and again. A country dinner is the best kind of dinner!

Serves: 4

Cooking Time: 15 min

What You'll Need:

• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
• 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
• 1 1/4 teaspoons black pepper, divided
• 1 1/4 pounds beef cubed steak
• 1 egg
• 2 1/4 cups milk, divided
• 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1 cup vegetable oil

What To Do:

1. In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat steak in flour mixture and set aside.
    
2. In a medium bowl, combine egg and 1/4 cup milk; mix well. Place bread crumbs in another shallow dish. Dip coated steak into egg mixture, coating completely, then into bread crumbs; set aside. Discard any remaining coating mixture.
    
3. In a large deep skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add steak and cook 6 to 8 minutes, or until juices run clear and coating is golden brown, turning occasionally. Place on a paper towel-lined platter and keep warm.
    
4. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons oil. Stir in remaining flour and brown over low heat. Add remaining salt, pepper, and milk, stirring constantly 3 to 4 minutes, or until gravy thickens.
    
5. Place meat on a serving platter and top with gravy. Serve immediately.
