Chicken Fried Steak


This recipe name is not at all what you think it is. It's not chicken it's beef. I don't know why the name is chicken fried steak. I guess whoever named it must have had chicken on there mind :)

Chicken Fried Steak

1 1/2 pound round steak cut into portion size pieces
1 egg, beaten
1 Tbls milk
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 c. crushed saltine crackers
1 Tbls. oil
1/2 c. water
1 1/2 c. milk
6 Tbls. flour

Pound beef slices to flatten and tenderize. Mix egg and tablespoon of milk in a pie pan. Combine seasonings, 4 tablespoons flour and crackers. Dip meat slices in egg mixture, then in crushed crackers. In a large skillet heat oil and cook meat on medium-high for 5 minutes on each side to brown. Add water and cover. Lower heat to medium-low and cook slowly about 1 1/2 hours or until fork tender, adding more water as necessary. Remove meat to platter. Increase heat to medium high and stir with heavy spoon, removing any crust from bottom of pan. Whisk in remaining flour until smooth. Slowly pour in milk, whisking until gravy is thick and smooth. Add more salt and pepper if needed. Strain to remove any lumps. Spoon over meat.
