Chicken Fried Steak

Every time I see them on a display they are on their back with a Lone Star Beer between their legs. So yeah they are some hard drinking little varmints.

They should switch to Alamo. Hank Hill loves it. Boy I'll Tell You What

:laugh2:

Alamo Beer Company was founded by Eugene Simor in 1997 with the hope of bringing locally brewed beer to market. The San Antonio owned and operated company introduced Alamo Golden Ale in 2003 to a very limited number of accounts. Customers demanded more and the distribution continued to grow.

This is where your upscale Armadillos get their beer. Most of them though are Lone Star swilling varmints.

The ones who cross the border they drink Dos Equis but then they are Armadillo of intrigue. Stay thristy my friend :laugh2:

I don't remember where we heard this tip but if you dip your chicken fry in the flour first, then milk, then flour again, it helps the breading stay on. It works. We cook chicken fried steak all the time.

I LOVE CFS but don't eat it much because of the calories.

For those that use buttermilk, do you soak the steak in the milk? Just asking because I was watching the Barefoot Contessa on the Food Network and she soaked chicken in buttermilk before breading and frying it. She said the acid in buttermilk tenderizes the chicken.

 

[YosemiteSam]

We soaked ours in a scrambled egg / milk mixture.

Gravy

That is the weirdest country gravy recipe I have ever seen. All you need is about 5 or 6 tbsp butter and/or oil in a pot on medium heat. Gradually whisk in flour, slowly cooking it until you have a golden brown pasty but smooth rue. The key is to keep whisking constantly as you add so it does not get lumpy. Immediately start slowly adding milk until it is a golden/white color and you have the consistency you desire. The gravy will thicken as it keeps cooking. Add spices as you desire. Salt and pepper (lots of pepper) are the norm. My dad puts something in his gravy that I can't figure out and he won't tell me, but it's fantastic. It's just kind of your thing to play with as far as spices go.

Good luck! Practice practice practice.

That gravy recipe he listed is what my mom/grandma called poor person's gravy. Its the ONLY way you make gravy in rural southeastern ohio as far as theyre concerned. Imagine my surprise when I went to culinary school and we made gravy like that too. Turns out its just a simple pan gravy. The key is reusing the bits of stuff and some of the grease from the frying pan.

You do know that there is no chicken in chicken fried steak?

He never said there was lol. He was just comparing another frying method for chicken and wondered if it was the same for steak. He even asked at the beginning if you soaked the steak in milk.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Never been a fan mainly because I don't care for gravy.

Yeah that's right a fat man that does like gravy. :laugh1:

Here's a little tip to keep your CFS crunchy from the first bite to the last bite. Instead of pouring gravy over the top of the CFS, spoon a generous portion on the plate and place the CFS on top of the gravy. It keeps your CFS crunchy and still have all the delicious gravy to mop up with your steak. Tip Top Cafe in S.A. would serve it that way and it's great.

When my mom made the gravy, she would use a little bacon grease and butter and flour for the roux, unhealthy but delicious.

 

[Meat-O-Rama]

unhealthy but delicious.

That pretty much sums up CFS, which is why I loves it so!

Thank you! Rough crowd here on CZ! :laugh2: I was referring to the acid in buttermilk as a tenderizer on STEAK or CHICKEN!!
