directions

  • Mix flour, breadcrumbs, parmesean cheese, and seasonings in a bowl.
  • Dip steaks into a small amount of milk and then dredge in the flour mixture.
  • Place 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil in frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Cook steaks for 5 minutes on one side (cooking time depends on thickness of steak).
  • The juices from the steak might soak up the flour, so before you flip the steaks add some more of the flour mixture, patting it down with a spatula.
  • When brown, flip over and continue to cook for another 3 mintues (again cooking time varies).
  • When finished cooking, remove steaks and keep warm.
  • FOR GRAVY:

  • Once steaks are finished cooking add a small amount of oil (most of oil, if not all, will have been used in cooking the steaks) and cook the mushrooms.
  • Add 1/4 water, salt&pepper, and continue cooking.
  • Make sure to get all of the scraps from the sides of the pan that the steaks left into the liquid you are cooking the mushrooms in.
  • When most of liquid is cooked off, sprinkle remaining flour over mushrooms and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add milk and cook until thickened to your liking.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes and enjoy!

  1. This was absolutely delicious! Chicken Fried Steak is one of my husband's favorite meals, and he devoured this! I cut the flour and breadcrumbs in 1/2 and had plenty to cover 4 steaks. The fresh mushrooms gave the dish a great flavor boost. The gravy was super! Thanks for a great recipe! Will make this again!
     
  2. This was a real hit in our house, I used rump steak and only used 3/4 cup of flour and breadcrumbs. The steak was lovely and tender, loved the crisp outside, and the mushroom gravy was delicious. Thanks for posting. =)
     
  3. I have to admit, I've never had Chicken Fried Steak before. So, I have nothing authentic to compare this dish with. Having said that though, we really enjoyed it. I used buttermilk instead of the milk in the dredging process, as I needed to use some up. As with one reviewer, I also used some of the leftover breadcrumb/flour mixture for thickening. Delicious! :)
     
  4. Yummy! I made this as directed except that I cut everthing back for one serving. Simple and tasty comfort food. Thanks diamonds4heather. Made for Adopt A Tag 2009.
     
  5. This was good stuff. I probably won't make so often just because I try and limit my fat intake...but other than that it was great. I had ALOT of flour/bread crumb/parm cheese mixture left over...so I used that to thicken the gravy...no complaints there. I used homemade whole wheat breadcrumbs...so that soaked up some moisture...easy to remedy...just add more liquid. My husband LOVED it...we will make again, just not very often
