Ingredients
- 4 beef cube steaks
- 1 cup gluten free flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients by patting the cube steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a shallow dish, mix the gluten-free flour with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, creating a seasoned coating mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk to create a wet dredging mixture.
- Set up a breading station: place the seasoned gluten-free flour mixture, egg wash, and a clean plate in order.
- Dredge each cube steak first in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg wash, and coat again in the flour mixture, ensuring a complete and even coating.
- Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan to 350°F (175°C), using enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan with about 1/4 inch depth.
- Carefully place the breaded steaks into the hot oil, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove steaks from the oil and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Allow steaks to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to help the coating set and maintain crispiness.
- Optional: Prepare a country-style gravy using gluten-free flour and milk to serve alongside the chicken fried steak.
Tips
- Patience is Key: Make sure to pat the cube steaks dry before breading. This helps the coating adhere better and results in a crispier texture.
- Season Generously: Don’t skimp on the seasoning in your flour mixture! A well-seasoned breading makes all the difference in flavor.
- Oil Temperature Matters: Use a thermometer to ensure your oil is at the right temperature (350°F or 175°C) before frying. If the oil is too cool, the coating can become soggy; too hot, and it may burn.
- Resting Time: Allow the cooked steaks to rest for a few minutes after frying. This helps the coating set and keeps it crispy when serving.
- Make it a Meal: Consider whipping up a gluten-free country-style gravy to serve alongside your chicken fried steak for an authentic experience that will take your dish to the next level!
