Directions
Broken Spoke’s Chicken-Fried Steak, Chicken-Fried Steak is so ‘Texas’, and the Austin dance hall has one of the best in the state. One of the old traditional ways to tenderize the beef was to pound the “heck” out of it with a Coke bottle or saucer. Rich, peppery gravy is a must for a successful chicken-fried steak. I recommend a round steak, pounded into tender submission by hand rather than machine-tenderized cube steaks., The crust on this was absolutely perfect! I soaked the round steak in buttermilk for several hours, then patted them dry and pounded them. I seasoned the meat lightly with seasoning salt. I also added 1/2 t garlic salt, 1/2 t garlic pepper, 1/2 t onion pepper, 1/2 t paprika and 1/4 t pepper to the dry ingredients. My gravy didn’t have quite enough flour, so I added a beef boullion cube. Then it was perfect! Thanks Miss Annie:, My family and I loved the Chicken Fried Steak. It had great flavor. I didn’t make the gravy only becuase use a white pepper gravy that we all like. I do have a question, the crust didn’t stay on for me. As soon as it hit the oil it would fall off. I’m not sure how to stop that from happening. I have to say the flavor reminded me of my mom’s cooking, it was wonderful!
