Instructions
Pound 1 ½ pounds boneless sirloin steak until approximately ¼ inch thick and there are 4 pieces.
In a shallow bowl, mix together 1 ½ cups flour, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 cup buttermilk.
Then dip and coat the steaks in the flour mixture. Then dip the steak in the buttermilk mixture and then back into the flour again and pack the flour onto the steaks so that it’s completely coated. Place the coated steaks on a plate. Continue this process until all the steaks are coated.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Then heat approximately 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is approximately 350 degrees F.
You will have to work in batches for the next step. Gently place each coated steak into the oil and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the steak is lightly golden brown. Drain the steak on a plate lined with a paper towel and then place the chicken fried steak on a sheet pan in the oven while you fry the remaining steaks.
To make the gravy, combine ½ cup salted butter and ¼ cup flour in a medium saucepan.
Heat over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the flour is cooked. Pour in 2 cups milk and whisk until there are no lumps.
Add ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Allow the gravy to simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens.
If the gravy is too thick, add more milk and if the gravy is too thin, allow it to continue to simmer until it has thickened.
Then serve the chicken fried steak with the gravy poured top and enjoy!
Notes
This chicken fried steak is best served fresh as it’s crispy and delicious but you can store the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
