Chicken Fried Steak Recipe

You can make you own Chicken Fried Steak! There's no need to take your man out to the diner for the ultimate man's meal. It's easy, it's relatively quick and doesn't require any special ingredients.My chicken fried steak may be one of the reason's my husband married me!

You need:

• cubed steak In our grocery store 4 steaks come in 1 package so plan accordingly.
• Flour
• Lawry's seasoning salt or plain salt if you don't have Lawry's
• Pepper
• Garlic powder
• Milk
• 1 egg (helps the batter adhere to the egg)
• Oil (I prefer Canola for this), but vegetable is fine

Directions:

1. Put milk in a bowl that's large enough to dip the meat into. Whisk the egg into your milk. You need enough milk to double dip each piece of meat. I think it usually takes about 2 cups for eight steaks.
2. Next take a large platter, put at least 2 cups of flour on it and heavily salt, pepper, and garlic it. Mix it thoroughly, and give it a little taste test by barely tasting the mixture...just a dab on your finger is enough for you to get the flavor. If it just tastes like flour, add more salt, pepper and garlic powder!! This is important, because the batter is what gives your chicken fried steak its flavor!
3. Get your largest skillet and heat about 1/4 inch deep of oil on medium/high heat. Take your cubed steak and dip it in the milk and into the flour. Press it into the flour on both sides, it should make the steak spread out and become larger. Re-dip it into the milk and back into the flour again, pressing it out and coating thoroughly with the flour. Put into hot oil. Repeat with as many steaks as your pan will hold. Your hands will get caked with the batter, just keep going, there's no other way!
4. Once the pan is full, quickly wash your hands, and it's probably time to turn over the first couple steaks you put in. I like to use a fork to turn the meat. Let each side of the steak brown thoroughly.
5. Repeat with the rest of your steaks if you have more.
6. Drain meat on a couple of paper towels as it's done.

Use your leftover grease to make delicious cream gravy. I'll show you how!
