Directions
Chicken-Fried Steak, This is from Southern Living It’s the BEST chicken-fried steak I’ve ever had Talk about comfort food!, Tried this last month & BOY WAS IT TASITY My wife & myself love chicken fried stake & now that I know how to make it will be having it more often! Look out, heart attack is a coming, LOL, Try this the traditional Southern version Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet with lid No self respecting Southern cook would ever try to get a crispy crust on Chicken Fried Steak and certainly would NEVER deep fat fry A simple Steve of flour, salt and pepper, then into the skillet of hot fried meat grease (bacon fat) Cook first side just until blood seeps ip onto the top side of the steak Then flip and cook another three minutes Add 1/4 cup cold water to the skillet and cover immediately to steam This creates a soft delicious crust and moist steak (think KFC original recipe ) Remove to a plate covered with paper towels Add the flour from the dredge to the skillet and mix with all the bits in the skillet When browned, add milk to create the pan gravy Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans or greens and vinegar
