How Do You Bread Chicken Fried Steak?
• Dry the pounded meat with paper towels and place both steaks on your clean work surface. • It’s important to dry the meat so that your seasonings and breading adhere to it better. • Season the pounded meat with salt and pepper, to taste. • Make sure to season both sides. • Pour the flour into a pie pan or deep plate. • Add more flour if you run low but remember that once the meat mixes with the flour, it’s unsafe to reuse the flour for other recipes and any remaining flour should be discarded at the end of the breading stage. • Whisk the egg with a fork or a wire whisk in another pie pan. • Dredge each steak in flour with your left hand, which will remain your dry hand. • Keeping one hand dry and one hand wet allows you to prepare all of your pounded steaks with minimal mess. • Move the meat from the flour to the beaten egg using your right hand, which will become your wet hand. • Drop the moistened steak back into the flour pan with your right hand. • Use your left hand to sprinkle
