Chicken Fried Steak 4 Large Cubed steaks 1 egg 2 tablespoons of Texas Pete Hot Sauce 1 cup of self-rising flour 1/2 teaspoon of salt 1/4 teaspoon of pepper 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional) 1/4 cup of water 1/4 to 1/2 cup of shortening for frying For the Gravy: 1/4 cup of shortening 1/4 cup of flour 2 to 3 cups of milk salt and pepper
You'll need to 2 pie plates. In one plate, mix together the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Set Aside. In the other pie plate, mix the egg and Texas Pete Hot Sauce Cover the steak with plastic wrap and pound out thin to about 1/4 inch. Place the steak into the egg mixture and then into the flour mixture. Press it in the flour to thoroughly coat. Heat shortening in a large skillet (cast iron is the best) over medium high heat. Place steaks in frying pan. Fry until the first side is a nice golden brown. Turn over, fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the 1/4 cup of water. Cover, cook for about 10 minutes. Remove lid and continue cooking until the second side is brown. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Turn down the heat and add the shortening and flour to the pan and cook for a few minutes until the flour starts to brown. Add the milk, stirring constantly until thick and bubbly. Add salt and pepper to taste. Plate up your steak and pour that wonderful gravy over it. I'm sure you'll agree that this is the best you've ever made! -- Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore
