Here’s What You Will Need:
- Steak
- All-purpose flour
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Red pepper
- Black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Buttermilk
- 1 Egg
- Vegetable oil
- Burger buns
To Serve:
Aside from the toasted burger buns, you can go ham with the toppings and sauce choice in your chicken fried steak sandwich. From lettuce and tomatoes to dill pickles and coleslaw, anything goes. As for the sauce, there is chipotle mayo, just regular mayonnaise, mayonnaise mixed with a bit of sriracha to spice it up. Take your pick and enjoy!
Directions:
Step 1 – Creating the Coating
The flour and egg coating is the key to a good chicken fried steak sandwich. In a bowl add all-purpose flour with a variety of spices like garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper, black pepper, and salt to taste. Take another bowl and add whisk up some eggs and buttermilk.
Step 2 – Coating the Steak
For the steak, you can cut it as you desire, into cubes, or just roughly chop it up to fit the sandwich buns. Now one by one, take the steak pieces and dip them into the flour mixture, making sure to get every nook and cranny. Next up, dunk the flour-coated babies into the egg mixture. Tap off excess bits and give the steak pieces another round in the flour mixture. This repeat step is very essential as it will give your chicken fried steak sandwich that perfect crispy and crunchy coating!
Step 3- Frying
Take a medium-sized pot and heat up enough vegetable oil to deep fry the steak. Carefully drop the coated steak into hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes. This step is basically intuitive, you fry the steak piece until it is golden brown on both sides. Make sure to keep the heat at medium and not burn the coating! Once the fried steak is a beautiful golden color, take it out of the pot and put it on a wire rack to remove the excess oil.
Step 4 – Assembling
Now comes the fun part of the chicken fried steak sandwich, assembling! Take any regular burger bun and toast it. Spread some butter on the top and bottom. Place the steak on the bottom bun, and layer with toppings of choice. Spread the desired sauce generously and top off with a bun and serve with a plate of fries and soda.
Bon Appetit!
