Oh, honey, let me tell you about a dish that will take your taste buds down memory lane to a time when food was hearty and homes were full of laughter – Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy. It’s comfort food at its finest, with its roots deeply planted in the heart of the Midwest. This dish is a testament to the ingenuity of home cooks who often had to make do with less expensive cuts of meat, making them delicious with what they had on hand. Chicken Fried Steak is reminiscent of Southern fried chicken, but it’s a steak cooked up like it was poultry, you see—tenderized, breaded, and fried to golden perfection, then smothered in a rich, creamy gravy. It’s the kind of meal you make when you want to spread a little love around the table. Perfect for a Sunday gathering or when you’re just craving some down-home comfort!
Now, you can’t just serve Chicken Fried Steak on its lonesome, can you? Round out your plate with some creamy mashed potatoes—they soak up that gravy just beautifully. Add a side of buttery green beans, maybe a heaping helping of collard greens, and don’t forget a biscuit or cornbread to mop up every last bit of that delicious gravy. And if it’s summertime, a slice of ripe tomato fresh from the garden is a bright, juicy complement to all that savory goodness.

Ingredients:
For the Steak:
– 4 cube steaks (about 1/2 pound each)
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 2 teaspoons kosher salt
– 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

– Vegetable oil for frying
