Few things say southern like Chicken Fried Steak and I think everyone needs to know how to make it! It used to intimidate me, but I’ve made it so much now it’s become second nature – almost as much as eating it is. It’s not hard to make and you’ll be the star of the show when you do ( even though one secret ingredient really makes it that. ) This crispy delicious use of a versatile piece of meat is a must cook, must eat! Watch the video and get recipe card below. Then get ready to get your fry on.

Ingredients

• 1 lb. Beef Cubed Steak
• 1 sleeve saltine crackers crushed
• 1 cup all purpose flour plus 2-3 tbsp for gravy
• 1 cup vegetable or canola oil
• 2 tsp Musket Powder Seasoning optional
• Season Salt for dusting meat and adding to gravy
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup milk

Instructions

For Meat:

• Cut cubed steak into 4″ pieces (I cut my large pieces in half), sprinkle both sides with season salt and Musket Powder
• Combine flour, crushed saltines (and more seasoning if you wish) in a gallon plastic (or paper) bag
• Beat eggs and milk in bowl
• One by one, shake pieces of steak to coat in plastic bag, then dip individually in egg mixture, drain, and re-coat with flour mixture in bag
• Fry steaks once all coated in med-high heated oil in skillet until golden brown, flip and fry other side the same
• Once meat is done, place on a rack on a foil lined baking sheet in 200 degree oven to keep crispy until time to eat

For Gravy:

• Reserve a few tablespoons of drippings from frying meat and add enough milk to fill skillet half-way. Dust a few tablespoons of flour over top and whisk until thickened over low heat. Add season salt (or table salt) to taste. Serve hot over meat and mashed potatoes.
