Chicken fried steak is a steak fried in seasoned batter until golden color and served with sausage gravy over the top. You can serve this meal for breakfast with eggs or for dinner with mashed potatoes.
First, pound steak until ¼ inch thickness, then season with salt & pepper, to taste. Next, add 1 ½ cup of flour into a dish. Using a different dish add 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon of Montreal Steak Spice, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, pepper and salt, to taste. Whisk until everything is combined.
Now, pour in 1 ½ cup of buttermilk and add 1 egg. Again, whisk until everything is combined.
Next, dredge each steak in the flour (covering completely with flour), then in the batter, and in the flour, again.
Using a non-stick skillet, preheat 3 cups of oil on medium/high heat. Once oil gets hot, add steaks and fry until golden brown color, 3 to 5 minutes per side. After, transfer steak onto a plate lined with paper towel and keep warm.
