What is Chicken Fried Steak?
Despite the name, Chicken Fried Steak doesn’t involve any chicken at all! The term “chicken fried” refers to the method of cooking—similar to how fried chicken is made. A tenderized beef steak is breaded, seasoned, and deep-fried to crispy perfection, then topped with a creamy, savory gravy made from the drippings left in the pan. It’s the perfect combination of crispy, juicy, and comforting, often served with mashed potatoes, collard greens, or a simple salad.
Here’s how to make this delicious Southern staple from scratch!
