How to make Chicken Fried Steak with Cream Gravy
- Prepare the dredging stations: In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- In another shallow dish, whisk together eggs and 1/2 cup milk.
- In a third shallow dish, place the remaining 1/2 cup flour.
- Pat cube steaks dry. Dredge each steak first in the plain flour, shaking off excess. Then dip in the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat generously in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing to adhere. Place breaded steaks on a wire rack.
- Heat 3-4 cups vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron works best) over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place 1-2 steaks in the hot oil (do not overcrowd). Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain. Keep warm in a low oven (200°F/90°C) while frying remaining steaks.
- Make the cream gravy: Carefully pour off all but 1/4 cup of the hot oil from the skillet, leaving any browned bits. Return skillet to medium heat.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour into the reserved drippings/oil, cooking for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the warm milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens and smooths out, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season gravy with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve the chicken fried steaks immediately with plenty of cream gravy.
