1 1/4 lbs boneless round steak, fat trimmed and pounded a 1/4-inch thick
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
salt, Kosher
black pepper, fresh ground
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder

1/2 lb thick slab bacon, cut into lardons
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

THE BEST CHICKEN-FRIED STEAK



The Best Chicken-Fried Steak image

A staple throughout Texas, chicken-fried steak consists of a thinly pounded beef cutlet that is battered and fried until crisp, then served with creamy country gravy. Adding cornstarch to the seasoned flour and dredging the meat twice gives our version an extra-crunchy and flavorful crust.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Four 3- to 4-ounce cube steaks (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups cornstarch
1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon hot sauce, such as Frank's RedHot
4 1/2 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Liberally sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper (see Cook's Note). Put them on a rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and let sit at room temperature while you make the gravy.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the flour until combined and cook until golden and bubbling, about 1 minute. Whisk in the whole milk, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, whisking frequently, until the gravy boils. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, whisking occasionally, until the gravy thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm; it will seem loose but will thicken as it sits.
  • Whisk the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk, egg and hot sauce in a medium bowl. Working with 1 steak at a time, dredge in the seasoned flour, turning to coat and packing into the crevices. Shake to remove any excess and return to the rack. Repeat with the remaining steaks.
  • Pour 3 tablespoons of the buttermilk mixture into the seasoned flour and work it in with your fingers; it should feel like wet sand with some clumps. (These clumps will give the steak a crispy, shaggy crust.) Dip the dredged steaks into the remaining buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Pack the moistened flour firmly onto each steak. Very gently shake off any excess and return to the rack. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Pour the oil into a large cast-iron skillet fitted with a deep-fry thermometer (the oil should come about halfway up the sides). Heat the oil over high heat until the thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Fry the steaks in 2 batches until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Whisk the warm cream gravy to loosen it and serve over the chicken-fried steak.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield : 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 eggs
2 cups milk, at room temperature
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons meat seasoning
2 cups frying oil, preferably Canola
Eight 6-ounce tenderized beef cutlets at room temperature (or tenderized center cut boneless pork chop, or tenderized boneless chicken breasts)
Mashed Potatoes, recipe follows
1 pound baking potatoes, like russets, peeled and cut in quarters
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) butter
2 cups half-and-half or 1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl and set this egg wash aside. Combine the flour and meat seasoning in another bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy 14-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F. Use a deep frying thermometer to check temperature. The oil should pop loudly when a drop of egg is dropped in.
  • Dip each of the first 4 cutlets in the egg wash mixture. Dredge them in the flour, then dip them back into the egg wash, and very gently place them in the hot oil. As you carry them 1 at a time from the egg wash to the skillet, hold a plate under them to catch the dripping egg wash. There'll be a regular explosion of noisy oil popping. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until breading is set and golden brown. Gently turn them with a long-handled meat fork or long metal tongs. Be careful. Cook another 3 minutes.
  • Carefully remove them from the skillet and drain on a platter lined with paper towels. Let oil reheat and repeat process for other 4 cutlets.
  • Serve with Mashed Potatoes.
  • Boil potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with butter, half-and-half, salt and pepper. Beat until smooth.
