Chicken Fried Steak

This is also known as country fried steak and is simply a piece of steak - most often round steak or tenderized cube steak that is coated with seasoned flour and pan-fried. It is associated with down-home southern cooking and hospitality.

For me - I usually use round steak but you can also use a pork chop -

1.5# Round Steak - 1/2" thick and tenderized
1 Beaten Egg
1 TBSP milk
1 Cup fine cracker crumbs
1/4 cup cooking oil
Salt, Pepper and garlic powder to season

Cut tenderized round steak into serving pieces. Mix egg and milk. Dip meat in egg mixture and then into crumbs that have the seasoning mixed in. Brown meat in hot oil, turning once.

Cover and cook over heat 45 - 60 minutes or until tender.

Serves 4 - 6
