Homemade Chicken Fried Steak Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 beef cube steaks (about 1/4 inch thick)
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (divided)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce or to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
- 3 cups of milk
- 3 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a medium-size bowl whisk together the buttermilk, baking powder, baking soda, egg, hot sauce, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and garlic powder.
- Place the 2 cups of flour in a shallow dish. (A pie baking dish seems to work fine for this)
- Roll the steak in the flour, then the batter, and then in the flour mixture again pressing firmly to coat – set aside.
- Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet to 325F. Cook the steaks on both sides until golden brown, or to the desired doneness. About 5 minutes on each side.
- For well done an instant-read thermometer should read 155F. Remove the steaks to a serving platter covered with paper toweling to drain any excess oil.
- When the steaks are done reserve 1/4 cup of the oil and discard the rest. Using the same skillet with the reserved oil whisk in a 1/4 cup of flour until smooth, stir in the regular milk, salt, and pepper to taste and cook over medium heat until thickened.
