Ingredients:
For the Chicken-Fried Steak:
- 4 beef cube steaks (or another cut of your choice, but cube steaks are traditional)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for breading)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Mashed Potatoes:
- 4-5 medium-sized russet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
For the Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk (whole milk for creaminess)
- 1 teaspoon chicken or beef bouillon (optional, for extra flavor)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Mashed Potatoes
- Begin by boiling your potatoes. In a large pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and milk, then mash everything together until smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
Step 2: Bread the Steaks
- In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper together.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs and buttermilk until well combined.
- Dip each cube steak into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated, then dredge it in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing lightly to coat both sides. Repeat for all steaks.
