Day 20 Chicken fried Steak with taters

Who doesn't like chicken fried steak? Everybody does, unless your a freak or from some Northern foreign country or something. :p Just kidding, not.

Ingredients

Cube Steak

Flour

Chili Powder

Kosher Salt

Pepper

Garlic Powder

Eggs 2-3

Milk Cup -Cup 1/2

Peanut oil (or your favorite frying oil)

Heat 1/4" of oil on high in a large skillet or cast iron skillet is best. 

This in my opinion is a season to taste recipe. Mix dry ingredients together in a shallow tray or dish.  Mix eggs and milk in a bowl. Dip Cube Steak through mixture and carefully lift to slightly drain. Lay down in flour mixer and lightly press into flour. With a fork or if you don't mind club fingers flip and push. Repeat as many times as necessary to cover meat in flour. Lay steak into oil slowly from one end to the other in a left to right motion, do not drop into oil. Fill pan with as many steaks that will fit. Mine hold 3 easy. Fry until golden brown  (about 3-5 min) and flip over for same time repeat for each steak. Drain on a paper towell lined plate.

Gravy

3-4 tbl. Butter

3-4 tbl. AP Flour

2-3 cups milk

Melt butter in a sauce pot. Whisk in flour until all the butter is absorbed.  Slowly add milk while whisking. Turn heat down to med-low. and whisk every 30-45 seconds until thickens (approx 10-15 min.). 

Mashed taters

10 Potatoes

4 tbl Kosher Salt

2 cups milk

Peel and slice potatoes 1/4" slices. Put into 4 or 5 qt pot. Cover with water and season with a good pinch of Kosher salt. Boil till potatoes are fork soft (approx 15 min). drain add butter and milk and with electric blender or stand mixer mix until smooth. Salt to taste.

Plate meat and potatoes and cover with gravy. Enjoy
