Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy

Step 1

Place the steak in between two sheets of plastic wrap on a cutting board. Using a meat mallet, carefully pound the steak very thin. If you don't have a meat mallet you can use the bottom of a heavy pan.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, add the flour, paprika, onion powder, salt & pepper. Whisk to combine.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, add the milk, egg, salt & pepper. Whisk thoroughly.

Step 4

Coat the steak in the flour mixture, then dunk it in the milk mixture. Next, add the steak back into the flour mixture to coat completely. Place the coated steak on a clean dish. Repeat this step will all pieces of steak.

Step 5

Fill a frying pan with water & bring it to a boil. Add the green beans & cook for 4-5 min. Drain & keep warm.

Step 6

Wipe any excess water out of the pan. Add neutral oil (enough to fully coat the bottom of the pan) & heat for about 1 min on medium heat. Add the steak & cook for 2-3 min on each side. The steak is very thin so will cook quickly! Remove the steak & place it on a paper towel lined plate. Set the plate aside & keep warm.

Step 7

Discard the oil & wipe any excess oil out of the pan with a paper towel. Add 1 tablespoon of butter & flour to the pan on medium-low heat (this is for 1 serving of gravy). Whisk for about 1 min. Pour in a 1/2 cup of milk & whisk until the gravy thickens. Add more milk if you prefer a thinner gravy. Season with salt & pepper.

Step 8

Serve the chicken fried steak topped with the tasty gravy & green beans. Enjoy!
