Breaded and deep-fried beef cutlets are known as chicken fried steak because of the similarity in cooking method to fried chicken. This is a family recipe that we have used for years. Vegetable oil may be used in place of shortening for frying.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shortening
- 1 pound boneless beef top loin
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, divided
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg, beaten
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 quart milk
Directions
Step 1
Heat 1/2 inch shortening in a large, heavy skillet to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
Step 2
While shortening is heating, cut beef crosswise into 4 equal cutlets. Pound each cutlet thinly with a moistened mallet or the side of a cleaver.
Step 3
Mix together 1 cup flour and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Beat together buttermilk, egg, salt, and pepper in a second shallow bowl. Dip cutlets in flour mixture, turning to coat evenly. Dip in egg mixture, then in flour mixture once more.
Step 4
Cook cutlets, one at a time, in hot shortening until golden brown, turning once. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain grease, reserving 1/2 cup drippings in the skillet.
Step 5
Blend remaining 1/4 cup flour into reserved drippings to form a paste. Cook and stir over medium heat, gradually adding milk until desired consistency is reached. For thicker gravy, add less milk; for thinner gravy, stir in more. Season gravy with salt and pepper. Serve over fried cutlets.
