The Pioneer Woman Chicken Fried Steak Recipe is so good, but so bad at the same time. This is not a healthy dish by any means, but it does taste out of this world. It takes me back to my Granny's cooking. This recipe is easy, but I will warn you that it is messy to prepare. If the whole family pitches in afterward it won't be that bad.
I know some people who like to eat their Chicken Fried Steak like a sandwich, but I prefer to serve with gravy and Mashed Potatoes. Be sure to try this Pioneer Woman recipe soon because you will not be disappointed! This is true southern comfort food! You can easily make this gluten free when you use a gluten free flour.

The Pioneer Woman Chicken Fried Steak Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Cube Steak tenderized Round Steak That's Been Extra Tenderized

- 2 large Eggs
- 3 cups All-purpose Flour
- Seasoned Salt
- ¼ teaspoons Cayenne

Instructions
- Begin with an assembly line of dishes for the meat: milk mixed with egg in one; flour mixed with spices in one; meat in one; then have one clean plate at the end to receive the breaded meat.
- Work one piece of meat at a time.
- Season both sides with salt and pepper, then dip in the milk/egg mixture.
- Next, place the meat on the plate of seasoned flour.
- Turn to coat thoroughly.
- Place the meat back into the milk/egg mixture, turning to coat.
- Place back in the flour and turn to coat.
- Place breaded meat on the clean plate, then repeat with remaining meat.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Drop in a few sprinkles of flour to make sure it’s sufficiently hot.
- Cook meat, three pieces at a time, until edges start to look golden brown; around 2 to 2 ½ minutes each side.
- Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and keep warm.
- Repeat until all meat is cooked.
GRAVY:
- After all meat is fried, pour off the grease into a heatproof bowl.
- Without cleaning the pan, return it to the stove over medium-low heat.
- Add ¼ cup grease back to the pan.
- Allow grease to heat up.
- Sprinkle ⅓ cup flour evenly over the grease.
- Using a whisk, mix flour with grease, creating a golden-brown paste.
- Keep cooking until it reaches a deep golden brown color.
- If paste seems more oily than pasty, sprinkle in another tablespoon of flour and whisk.

- Cook to thicken the gravy.
- Be prepared to add more milk if it becomes overly thick.
- Add salt and pepper and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until gravy is smooth and thick.

Mine looks pretty good! I didn't have cayenne so I used chipotle chili powder, and onion powder/ garlic salt for the seasoned salt because I didn't have that either! Lol It tastes really delicious though!!
Barbara
This was my first attempt at Chicken Fried Steak, but oh my, my family loved it! Will definitely add to the menu again, But I need to find someone to wash the dishes!
Thanks for the great east to follow directions.

There is also a device named "Fast Cutlet Maker V2" that flattens the meat and create a nice cube pattern on it. It's popular in Poland.

I could find nowhere, how much canola oil to put in the pan to start.

I know...took me a long time to get back here. The recipe says to cook the meat 3 pieces at a time, but nowhere in the recipe does it say how or how many pieces of steak I should have. It appears 1 piece of tenderized 3-pound cube steak.
