How Do You Cook SOUTHERN CHICKEN FRIED STEAK?
Chicken Fried Steak also know as Country Fried Steak is a wonderful comfort food if prepared right , Here is a old SOUTHERN recipe my Grandma used. THE MEAT You can buy cube steaks OR As I lke tyo do, I buy 1/2 thick round steak & pound it till it is aprox 1/4 inch thick SEASON THE MEAT Get a large seasoning shaker , Put 2 tablespoons EACH of Salt , Black Pepper , onion powder , garlic powder & Cajun Spice into the shakers Season both side of the meat THE ONION & GARLIC & This is the secret to SOUTHERN FRIED FOOD Chop 1/2 a medium onion it to large chunks Smash & chop 1 garlic clove THE OIL Get a large frying pan & pour in 1/2 inch of cooking oil ADD the chopped onions & garlic to the oil Start heating the oil to aprox 425 F. The onions & garlic will stay in the oil the whole time the meat is cooking , It will get all black & crusty looking , BUT that is OK , it is in there to season the oil & not to eat.
