Classic Chicken Fried Steak with Creamy Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

Components:

Regarding the Fried Chicken:

  1. Two cube steaks (6 to 8 ounces) or thinly pounded round steaks
  2. One cup of flour for all purposes
  3. One tsp of paprika
  4. one tsp powdered garlic
  5. To taste, add salt and pepper.
  6. Two big eggs
  7. one-fourth cup milk
  8. vegetable-based cooking oil
  9. Regarding the Smooth Mashed Potatoes:
  10. Two pounds of russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and sliced
  11. Half a cup of heavy cream, or milk
  12. four tsp of butter
  13. To taste, add salt and pepper.

Regarding the Gravy:

  • 1/4 cup flour for all purposes, set aside for breading
  • two glasses of milk
  • To taste, add salt and pepper.

Guidelines:

1. Get the potatoes ready for mashing:

  • Boil the potatoes: Place the potatoes in a big saucepan, cover with water, sprinkle with salt, and heat until they are boiling. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender.
  • Mash: Put the potatoes back in the pot after draining them. Add the heavy cream, butter, pepper, and salt. Mash until creamy and smooth. Stay warm.

2. Spread the steak with bread:

To make the coating, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs and milk together in a separate bowl.

Coat the Steak: Gently push each cube steak to stick by dipping it first in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and then back in the flour.

3. Allow the steak to fry:

  • Heat Oil: Heat up to 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Cook Steak: Gently drop the breaded steaks into the heated oil and sear them for three to four minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown. To drain excess oil, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.

4. Prepare the Gravy:

  • Utilize the Drippings: Take off most of the oil in the same skillet, reserving about 2 tablespoons along with the browned bits. To make a roux, add the breading’s saved flour to the drippings and mix.
  • Add Milk: Whisk in the milk gradually while whisking continuously until the mixture thickens. Add pepper and salt for seasoning.

5. Present:

  • Place the chicken fried steak on a platter with the creamy mashed potatoes on top, and pour plenty of gravy over it.

Savor this filling and cozy dinner!
