Ingredients

14 INGREDIENTS

4 SERVINGS

2 cups all purpose flour

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 tbsp unsalted butter

4 whole sirloin steaks

Directions

10 STEPS

Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C). Heat a large frying pan or skillet and add about 0.5 inch of oil.

Place the large eggs and the 2 cups of all-purpose flour in two separate bowls or dishes big enough to bread the steak.

Add the 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, and 1 tsp black pepper to the flour and mix well.

Coat the tenderized sirloin steaks first in the flour mixture, then dip them in the beaten eggs, and coat again with the seasoned flour, pressing down for full coverage.

Fry each steak for about 4-5 minutes per side or until crisp and golden brown.

Remove the steaks from the pan and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to keep warm in the preheated oven while you cook the remaining steaks.

To make the gravy, pour off the excess oil from the pan and discard. Wipe out leftover flour using paper towels. Place the pan back over medium heat and add 1 tbsp unsalted butter.

Once the butter has melted, whisk in 2 tbsp all-purpose flour followed by the 2 cups of chicken stock, a little at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

Allow the gravy to simmer and thicken for a few minutes, then season with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp lemon juice.

Serve the Golden Crispy Chicken Fried Steaks alongside creamy mashed potatoes, your choice of vegetables, and generously drizzled with the rich gravy.
