How To Make Chicken Fried Steak :
If you were able to purchase a good quality cubed steak then there is nothing left to do but season with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, and proceed to the portion of this post on breading the steaks.
For everyone who was able to obtain the top round or eye of round, cut the roast into steaks which will naturally be about 3-4 inches in diameter.
I like to cut them to be about 3/4 of an inch thick.
Using a meat mallet or a rolling pin, beat the steak until it spreads out and becomes thinner. I like my steaks to nearly double in size so that they are very thin.
Repeat with the remaining steaks and transfer them to a baking sheet.
Finally, season the steaks with seasoning salt and black pepper.
How To Bread Chicken Fried Steaks Properly :
Now we will set up a standard bread station. In one large glass bowl or casserole dish, we will place our 3 cups of all purpose flour seasoned with seasoned salt, pepper, onion powder, and spices.
In our next shallow dish, we will place 3 cracked eggs and 1/4 cup of whole milk, whisked well.
Some people use a buttermilk-egg mixture instead of milk and that provides different flavors in the final crust which you might choose to experiment with.
One at a time take each tenderized steak and coat it in the seasoned flour mixture, shake it off and dip it into the egg mixture, and then back into the seasoned flour. Place the steak, now breaded back onto the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining steaks.
