Old-Fashioned Cowboy Chicken Fried Steak with Country Gravy

Chicken Fried Steak with Smashed Potatoes & Cracked Pepper Gravy – Meat Church

meatchurch.com

There's something special about a good old-fashioned chicken fried steak! That crispy golden coating, tender beef, and creamy homemade pepper gravy remind me of the kind of suppers Grandma used to make.

And friends, you don't have to spend a fortune at a restaurant to enjoy this country classic!

40 minutes

4 servings

Country comfort food

🥩 Ingredients

For the steak:

4 cube steaks
1½ cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
Vegetable oil for frying

For the country gravy:

3 tablespoons pan drippings or butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2½ cups milk
Salt and plenty of black pepper to taste

🍳 Let's Get Cooking!

1. Season the flour. Mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.

2. Prepare the egg wash. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and ½ cup milk.

3. Coat the steaks. Dip each cube steak in seasoned flour, then egg mixture, and back into the flour. Press gently so the coating sticks.

4. Fry until golden. Heat about ¼ inch of oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Fry steaks in batches for approximately 3–5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through to at least 145°F. Rest for 3 minutes.

5. Make Grandma's gravy. Carefully remove most of the oil, leaving 3 tablespoons of drippings. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute.

6. Add the milk. Slowly whisk in milk, stirring until smooth and thickened. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper.

7. Serve it up! Spoon that delicious homemade gravy over your chicken fried steak.

Serve with mashed potatoes, buttered corn, and homemade biscuits!

💰 Saturday's Chuckwagon Money-Saving Tip

Cube steak can be a more affordable choice than premium steak cuts. Watch for family-pack specials and freeze individual portions.

Leftover country gravy is also delicious over biscuits for breakfast the next morning!

❤️ Saturday's Food for Thought — Be Thankful for the Little Things

Friends, sometimes we spend so much time waiting for the big blessings that we overlook the little ones.

A hot meal, a warm home, a kind word, or another day to serve the Lord — these are all reasons to give thanks.

Today's Scripture — KJV

"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." — 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Even when life isn't perfect, we can still find reasons to praise the Lord.

🤠 Saturday's Chuckwagon Question: Did your family call it chicken fried steak or country fried steak? And do you prefer white pepper gravy or brown gravy?
