Is chicken fried steak made of chicken?

Answer 1

no

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK

2 pkg. tenderized cube or round steak
1 c. whole milk
1 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. black pepper
1 1/2 - 2 c. cooking oil
Good heavy skillet

I start heating my skillet first and when it gets warmed up (7 minutes), I add my cooking oil and let it heat also. While that is heating up, I get the steak ready, pound each steak with the side of a mallet or palm of your hand until very thin. Place steaks (2 at a time) in shallow dish containing milk. Next, mix the flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Remove steak from milk, dredge in flour mixture, place into skillet and brown on both sides. Continue cooking until all steaks are cooked.

CREAM GRAVY:

1/3 c. hot steak drippings
1/4 c. flour
2 c. milk
Salt and pepper to taste

I use another skillet, let it get hot and add steak drippings, flour, salt and pepper. Stir with wire whisk until blended. Next add 2 cups milk, continuing to stir until gravy thickens. Serve with chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes.

Answer 2

Nope,not according to the way I was taught. Its made of steak... I think it is called that because it has a crust on it like chicken does when it is fried. All you do is get some cubed steaks, dip the steaks in a solution of milk and 1egg, alittle salt and pepper, then dip it in flour to coat it evenly. Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet and pan fry slowly, brown on both sides til done. Drain on paper towels, to me.....this is chicken fried steak...

Answer 4

Chicken fried steak (also known as country fried steak) is a piece of beef steak (generally cubed steak) coated and fried. It is associated with Southern U.S. cuisine. Its name is likely due to the dish's similarity to fried chicken, though chicken fried steak's preparation and presentation are more like the classic Austrian dish wiener schnitzel.

Chicken fried steak is prepared by taking a thin cut of beef steak and tenderizing it by pounding. It is then either immersed in batter or dredged in flour to which salt, pepper, and often other seasonings, have been added. After this, the steak is fried in a skillet or, less commonly, deep-fried. The frying medium has traditionally been butter, lard, or other shortening, but in recent years health concerns have led most cooks to substitute vegetable oil.

The cuts of steak used for chicken fried steak are usually the less expensive, less desirable ones, such as chuck steak, round steak, and occasionally flank steak. The method is seldom used for higher-quality cuts such as rib-eye or sirloin, since the results are little better than those achieved with lesser cuts, at greater expense. The method is also sometimes used for chopped, ground, or especially cube steak. It is traditionally served for lunch or dinner with cream gravy, mashed potatoes and vegetables, or at breakfast with eggs, fried potatoes, and biscuits.
