Pioneer Woman's Chicken Fried Steak

I am a little late in this PW's post, but with work I have not really had a chance to cook lately! I made this yummy chicken fried steak that tasted divine!

What you Need:
3 pounds sliced cube steak
2 large eggs
3 1/2 cups milk
3 1/3 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
3 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup canola oil

How you make it:
1. Beat the eggs with one cup of milk and place in shallow dish

2. Mix 3 cups flour with 2 teaspoons salt, paprika, cayenne and black pepper, place in shallow dish

3. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Dip in eggs, then flour, then back in eggs, coating thoroughly each time. Place on empty plate until ready to cook.

***Side Note: easiest way to do this set it up in a line then you get less mess everywhere***

4. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Fry meat 3 pieces at a time until golden, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove to paper towel lined plate and keep warm.


5. After frying all the meat, pour out all grease except for 1/4 cup and heat up the grease. Sprinkle 1/3 cup flour over the grease and whisk it together.

6. After a couple of minutes the flour mixture will turn brown. Whisking constantly, pour in 2 cups of milk. Let gravy come to slow boil to thicken. Add more milk as needed if it gets too thick. This should take 5-10 minutes. (***side note my poor hubby kept adding flour and it did not turn out well oh well lessen learned***)

7. Now enjoy!

I absolutley recommend this recipe your hubby with think you stole his grandma's recipe!
Happy Cooking!!
