Ingredients

Scale
  • Chicken Fried Steak
  • 1 1/2 pounds pork steak (you can use loin end chops, shoulder steaks, cutlets, cube steaks, etc.)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter (or more if necessary)
  • Cream Gravy
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 3/4 – 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • Hot sauce to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. If you pork steaks are not tenderized, use a meat tenderizer or mallet to pound pork steaks until 1/4″ – 1/2″ thick.
  2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  3. Pour flour onto plate or into shallow bowl, season with salt and pepper.
  4. Pour breadcrumbs onto separate plate or shallow bowl. If plain, season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  5. Crack two eggs into a small bowl, add milk, and whisk together.
  6. Dredge the pork steaks (one at a time) in the flour, then the egg/milk mixture, and roll in breadcrumbs. Set aside.
  7. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in pan over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, brown the pork steaks in batches on both sides until they are golden brown. Remove the pork chops to a baking sheet. If necessary, add more butter to the pan in between batches.
  8. Place pork steaks in the oven while you prepare the gravy. In the same pan, turn heat to low.
  9. Add more butter if necessary, there should be about 4 tablespoons in the pan. Add 4 tablespoons of flour and whisk together creating a golden-brown paste. Add more flour if it looks overly greasy; add a little more grease if it becomes too pasty/clumpy
  10. Slowly add in the chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly. Add the Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce to taste and cook, whisking, until the gravy is smooth and thick, 5 to 10 minutes. Add plenty of black pepper.
  11. Serve the steak alongside mashed potatoes and pour gravy over the entire thing!
