Chicken Fried Steak
- Cut top loin crosswise into 4 (4 ounce) cutlets. Using a glancing motion, pound each cutlet thinly with a moistened mallet or the side of a cleaver.
- In a large, heavy skillet, heat 1/2 inch shortening to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
- While the shortening is heating, prepare cutlets. In a shallow bowl, beat together egg, buttermilk, salt and pepper.
- In another shallow dish, mix together garlic powder and 1cup flour.
- Dip cutlets in flour, turning to evenly coat both sides.
- Dip in egg mixture, coating both sides, then in flour mixture once again.
- Place cutlets in heated shortening. Cook until golden brown, turning once. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
- Using the drippings in the pan, prepare gravy over medium heat.
- To 1/2 cup drippings, blend in 1/4 cup flour to form a paste. Gradually add milk to desired consistency, stirring constantly.
- For a thicker gravy add less milk; for a thinner gravy stir in more.
- Heat through, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve over chicken fried steak. Deep fried beef cutlets are known as chicken fried steak because of the similarity in cooking method to fried chicken.
- This is a family recipe that we have used for years.
- Vegetable oil may be used in place of shortening for frying.
- This recipe has been scaled to make: 4 servings
