Easy Chicken Fried Steak Recipe

Chicken fried steak recipe or CFS classically made of tenderized cube steak and associated with Texas cuisine.

1 cup vegetable frying oil (amount varies upon your size of the skillet)

1 egg

1/4 cup milk or water

salt, pepper to taste

1 teaspoon paprika

2 pounds (1kg) of cube steak – about 4 tenderized large beef cutlets

1 cup all-purpose flour

2. Meanwhile mix together egg and milk.

3. Mix together salt, black pepper and paprika.

4. Then sprinkle both sides of beef cutlets with the mixture.

5. Cover the cutlets with flour, shaking off the excess.

6. Then dip each cutlet in the egg/milk mixture, then back in flour (my suggestion to you is to take off your rings, because you're going to get your hands messy).

7. Check the temperature of the oil with a drop of water, if it pops and spits back at you, it's ready.

8. With a long-handled fork, carefully place each cutlet into the hot oil. Protect yourself (and your kitchen) from the popping grease that results. Fry cutlets on both sides, turning once, until golden brown.

9. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 4-5 minutes until cutlets are done through. Drain cutlets on paper towels.

My flavorful Italian inspired “Twist” for this recipe: add 1 teaspoon fresh thyme and lemon zest into paprika. Then proceed with the recipe. It makes the steaks wonderfully perfumed and tasty.
