Chicken Fried Steak is a great Sunday dinner. Chicken fried steak is crunchy and has a wonderful flavor. The recipe is easy and I baked it instead of frying it which makes it a little healthier.
Chicken Fried Steak
Pre Heat oven to 350 degrees.
I started the chicken fried steak by cutting up a sirloin round steak into portions about the size of you palm. I then took a mallet and pounded out the steaks on both sides. I seasoned them and set them aside until I was ready to coat them.
I used one bowl for an egg wash which had in it 2 eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
The second bowl had flour, corn flakes, Cajun seasoning, chipotle seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, sriracha seasoning, and salt. A few shakes of each will work.
I took the steak and put it into the egg wash then in the flour corn flake mixture until it is coated completely. I sprayed the bottom of a glass bake dish with nonstick spray and put the steaks in the dish along with a few pats of butter around the steaks.
The chicken fried steak went into the oven for 35-45 minutes. The inner temperature of the steak should be 140 – 160 degrees.
Gravy
While the chicken fried steaks are cooking I made up some gravy for them. I took some sliced mushrooms, a garlic clove, sliced onions, Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce, and butter. Cooked them on low heat until the onion is translucent.
I then added 2 tsp at a time of Wondra flour and stirred until it absorbed all the butter and juice. I then put in ½ cup of half and half. Stir that until it is smooth. When that comes to a boil I turned down and let cook for a few minutes. After a few minutes it will start to thicken and if not I added another spoonful until it was as thick as I needed. If it is too thick you will need to add some more half and half.
Let the chicken fried steak cool for a few minutes before serving when it comes out of the oven. Top with Gravy and enjoy.
