Southern Chicken Fried Steak
1 pound round steak, cut in 4 pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup flour
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
hot shortening or oil for shallow frying
If steak has not been tenderized when you buy it, pound each piece slightly
with a heavy plate or a kitchen mallet. Add salt and pepper to flour in a
shallow pan and stir to mix. Beat egg well, add milk, and beat again. Heat
shortening in a heavy skillet. Roll each piece of steak in the seasoned flour
then dip in egg and milk mixture. Roll in flour again and fry at once in hot
shortening to a light brown. Drain on paper towels and keep warm while making
Cream Gravy. Serve with mashed potatoes and cream gravy. Serves 4.
Cream Gravy
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup minced scallions
1 cup milk
1/2 cup half and half
2 tablespoons flour
salt and pepper to taste
In the skillet in which you cooked the steaks, melt the 2 tablespoons butter
until foamy. Add the 1/2 cup minced scallions and cook, stirring, for 2
minutes. In a bowl, stir together the 1 cup milk, the 1/2 cup cream, and the 2
tablespoons flour. Add the mixture to the skillet, bring to a boil, stirring,
and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Cream gravy is supposed to be thick. If it gets too thick, add more milk.
