Southern Chicken Fried Steak and White Gravy

[sbyrd1978]

Oh wow. I went to Baylor in the mid 90s. Sick em' Bears.

[katikatt87]

I'm a cooking novice, so if this is a duh question, I apologize. My mother uses cube steak, and she doesn't tenderize it or anything. With the top round steak and a tenderizer will that make it less chewy and gritty? The toughness really turns me off from her chicken fried steak, but at some restaurants it's nice and easy to chew. Is this how they do it?

[rosetwitches]

I think you need a few more utensils.

[possum419]

*drool* so what time should i be over for dinner?

[PrivateSeverGM]

dude.

join the next food channel all star. i think ull make it

[ScooterSMcGee]

@PrivateSeverGM Thanks man. I'll have to check it out. I haven't watched the food network nework in a while.

[J25x]

I'm making this (following your recipe) on Wednesday, thank you good sir for the instruction.

[SoCalDude805]

oh, it looks good.

[londonstorm69]

U r so freakin awsome. Thanks for the recipe. Im from Waco, wish i could have met u when u were here. Sorry to say the Elite is know longer open and Heightmillers has a second restaurant on I-35 & lakeshore.It's a lot bigger but both are still good. In my opinion, as of right now Georges (home of the big O...;-)..) has the best CFS. It's also the size of the plate. I'm gonna try this recipe tonight. Thanks again n have a good 1!!!!

[black123kyle]

i am trying it tonight but as usual i always tweek the receipt to make it mine

[Alaskanassass1n]

It's nice to see a video on here for country fried steak without a cube steak! I thought I was the only one who took the extra time. Thanks for the vid!

[Mutch820]

OH MY GOSH! This looks delicious. I'm going to make it this Sunday for dinner!!!

[hawkman2111]

Looks great!!!!

[bloodandwinearered]

After looking at many recipes for chicken fried steak, I settled on yours. It turned out just tremendously. A recipe anyone one could have success with. Thanks for a clear and simple explanation of the process.

[Kouglizia]

Good Job Scott! you are my heroe of the day !

[CatchHellBlues16]

nice recipe



[bootlicker503]

Bacon fat Rules! One thing I do is break up a garlic clove into 3 or four chunks and put them in the oil while it's heating. This not only infuses garlic flavor into the oil, but when the garlic browns and starts sizzling, I know it's hot enough for the steaks.

[movinsouth29]

I really enjoy watching your videos and I am 51 years old and still learning new things every day when it comes to cooking. It's hard to watch these vids, however, and stay on my diet.

[jwlrymkr]

It is a staple around our house. Waco, Texas native as well. Thumbs up!

[woofums]

This is food porn, AWESOME recipe!

[guitarmanJoeWentz]

Wow that looks very delicious!!!! I wish I had some now!!!!!!!

[561mswanda]

Great recipe!!

[pedrotheunderlord]

I'm gonna try this one

I love chicken fried steak

[SNAKE2500]

wow... this looks tasty :D

[fournierbru]

why is it called Chicken Fried steak?

[ScooterSMcGee]

@fournierbru - because it's steak fried like you would a chicken.

[abilenesmom]

LOVE THIS!!! Thank you for making this easy!

[Tianadabaddest]

oh yeah !! Waco,Texas!!

[breckandy]

Good videos!

[sakaimelquinetta]

WOW....I am from Waco born and raised...recently moved to Houston...it is a small word.

[macfint]

why do you not use the drippings from the original frying pan?

[ScooterSMcGee]

@macfint - it would be tasty, and I have done that. But, the recipes I present here are for such a wide variety of folks with varying skill-levels that I think this is the failsafe approach. I find that it can be a challenge for some to control the heat closely enough and the drippings begin to scorch and add a bitter flavor to the gravy.

By all means, if you have a method you prefer you should do that.

[bkraman]

i was raised in waco and miss George's chicken fried steak. of course, no one can top kitok's oriential fries!!!

[climenuts]

Thank god I found a good recipe, You can't get it anywhere in ontario so i've been dying in between trips to houston. Can't wait to make it.

[CYRINTHIA212]

omg that looks sooooo good..yummy

[cookiebretzsmith]

Ok, Mr. Scott! My husband is from Lousiana and wanted Chicken Fried Steak. I've NEVER MADE IT ... found your youtube video and we're gonna have this tonight! ...looks awesome...I'll let you know how it turns out; you made my day when you were talking about the "mallet with the little pokey things on it" ....I KNEW YOU WERE MY CHICKEN FRIED STEAK COOKING GURU"!

HUGS,

COOKIE FROM GARDEN GROVE CA

[ScooterSMcGee]

@cookiebretzsmith - how did it turn out?

[crippincraccin]

@ScooterSMcGee I made this and damn it was good!!!

[cappy84486]

I'm going to make chicken fried steak tomorrow. Sounds yummy! The bacon grease isn't so bad compared to how much is used for the gravy divided by servings. I would think much healthier than eating 2-4 strips of bacon for breakfast. Plus great flavoring for the gravy.

[7gulp]

Great instructions bro. Thank you. My wife loved it.

[TheVittleVlog]

Yeah, have to try this one!

[lospown]

thats one of my favorite dishes

[justsopitted]

Thanks! One of my favorites..... looks great.

[seanviv2]

as always you never fail to impress YUMMY

[maria39208]

where can i find chicken base?

[ScooterSMcGee]

in the supermarket next to the chicken stock... usually.

[4lfclvr67]

Oh boy, my stomach is growling. That looks delicious!

[kylaroxd]

this is what i am looking for the chicken steak with gravy!!!! my favorite

[chicago6584]

Looks great.! 5/5

Question: Does keeping the steaks in the oven while preparing the sides turn the breading soggy?

[ScooterSMcGee]

Yes - try to avoid it if possible... especially if you have a gas oven.

[davethedrummercancun]

I am an American Southern guy and I have seen many recipes that recommend Buttermilk... Does anyone know what would be the equivalent to buttermilk in Mexico? I now live in Cancun and miss some of my favorite Southern dishes.

[ScooterSMcGee]

Just use whole milk mixed with fresh lemon juice. To 1 cup of milk add 1 Tbsp lemon juice and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, stir and it's ready to use.

[finnhung]

@ScooterSMcGee If you don't have any lemons, vinegar will work as well.

[lornalynn72]

This is really great.

[dj8o5]

What a nice video!! I use the drippings from the meat for the gravy though. Thanks Scott.

[Sonia1013]

Mmmmm Bacon Fat....

[kyle556owns]

my god that looks amazing T___T...

[tigerduke23]

Thanks for a GREAT recipe Scott! My husband and I live in Ireland and get homesick for good old American food so we search for recipes that remind us of home. Your CFS is the best recipe we've ever tried. The recipe works perfectly, it's easy, and tastes wonderful! We will look forward to trying some more of your recipes! Thanks again!

[jballard459]

Great video and recipe Scott...thanks from Texas.

[lklankford]

Sic'em Bears!

[vbpeepee]

Wow. Looks real good. This must be a common video to watch at 1am. Lol

[SilEvo86]

:-P (Drools) damn, it's 1am and i'm hungry for some fried steaks!

[fanofhhh]

Great recipe. Mine is similiar except i never thought to use sour cream-brilliant addition. However I use 2% milk. Is buttermilk a big difference? Think ill try it if u think it is.

[scalliwagrx8]

great recipe!!

[jamessfromtx]

looks great! now i wanna run to the store and get ingredients... except it's 5 am...

[mosafef]

great recipe mad props from Dallas and go Gatesville hornets!!!

one question my granny just used the drippings from the pan any particular reason you use bacon fat instead?

[ScooterSMcGee]

Yes-the pan drippings work just fine, but the bacon fat adds SO much flavor.

[falconx1]

My Jersey friends got watery mouths while I was cookin' this! AWESOME Recipe...Thanks. 5 full stars btw.

Scott you have no idea how I appreciate this recipe. Eating out here in rural KS - CFS is always on the menu & it's usually nasty...heavy in salt & garlic powder..usually made with cube steaks that taste like knitted tough meat. Your recipe is excellent. Thks so much !

[salpi23]

Good stuff Scott, keep up the good work.

[ThomasOSB]

I appreciate your show on how to make Chicken Fried Steak. It has always been one of my favorite meals. I noticed that your recipe has a lot more flavors that you add, so I can't wait to try them and see what they add to the meal. However, I do think I will have to keep my usage of the oil the steaks fried in instead of the bacon fat - the flavor adds so much. Thanks again.

[mikelava]

You need a show on food network!

[meemo61]

I tried this recipe and my husband loved it!

Thanks, Scott!!

[ScooterSMcGee]

I'm so happy that you enjoyed it! Keep on watching... I have lots of other great recipes to share with you.

[kirz778]

What store did you get your cookware from

[ScooterSMcGee]

I have picked up bits and pieces of it along the way. Most of the cookware I use came from Williams-Sonoma and Sur la Table.
