Ingredients
  • ½ Cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt, or to taste
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 2 Tablespoons Water
  • 2 Pounds Bottom or Top Round Steak (cut into four individual portions),
  • pounded well to tenderize)
  • 1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil
  • Milk Gravy:
  • 2 tablespoons pan drippings
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk, heavy cream, or evaporated milk, room temperature
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions
  1. In a shallow pan or plate, sift together flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. In another shallow pan, combine egg and water. In still another shallow pan, place baking mix. Coat steaks in flour mixture, dip in egg mixture, and then coat with baking mix.
  2. Preheat oven to 150 degrees F. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil and heat until a drop of water sizzles. Add coated steak pieces, in batches, and fry 4 to 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and thoroughly cooked (add additional vegetable oil if needed). Remove from pan and keep cooked steaks warm in preheated oven. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the cooking oil. Put the frying pan back over the heat and make the Milk Gravy.
  3. In the same frying pan with 2 tablespoons pan drippings, over medium heat, sprinkle flour over the oil and blend with a wooden spoon or whisk until smooth. Whisking or stirring constantly, slowly pour in milk, cream or evaporated milk; continue stirring, scraping loose browned bits from the bottom and sides of skillet, until the gravy begins to boil and thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 to 8 minutes or until gravy is thickened to the desired consistency and the flour has lost its raw, pasty taste. Remove from pan and serve hot with the Chicken-Fried Steak.

Houstonian has made this for me before and all I can say is yum. Great chicken fried steak. Thanks for adding this recipe, now I can try and make it for myself.


This is the real deal... Not a make believe! Have not had this in about a year. It's time...


This may be a dumb question, but what is in the baking mix?


Nevermind. I came to my senses. Sorry for the dumb question. :-)


Made this for Fathers Day and it was perfect with mashed potatoes. Thanks so much for posting.
