I'm fixing to make is a chicken fried steak.
0:04
This is one of these dishes, whether you're in
0:07
Millbrook, New York or you're in Albany, Georgia,
0:10
or Savannah, Georgia, you're gonna find
0:13
a chicken fried steak on the menu.
0:16
Now, I've got two different bowls up here.
0:19
I've got one full of flour,
0:21
and I'm gonna feel one with buttermilk.
0:25
And I'm gonna take our steak.
0:28
And your steak is nothing but a round steak
0:33
that you have had your butcher run it through a cuber
0:37
and it breaks the meat down because round steak
0:39
is not typically a tender cut of meat.
0:43
So, it has to have some help in breaking down that meat
0:46
so that it will get tender.
0:48
Now, I'm gonna take our steak and I'm just gonna
0:51
sprinkle it with house seasoning,
0:55
and then I'm gonna run it through the buttermilk
0:58
and then into the flour.
1:00
And that buttermilk is gonna help it have a nice
1:08
I probably got about a 1/2 an inch of grease,
1:11
and it's not gonna take long for this steak to cook at all.
1:15
So, let's start by sampling a piece, and yeah, that's good.
1:20
In fact, that might just be perfect.
1:31
Let's look at our steak now because
1:33
it's probably ready to flip.
1:38
And you'll wanna do this gently
1:40
so that your crust doesn't fall off,
1:43
because you want every bit of that crust.
1:49
While the steak is finishing up and it's about ready.
1:53
I'm gonna move the biscuits down here
1:56
and I'm gonna take the steak up,
2:01
and I'm gonna let it drain for a second on a paper towel.
2:05
And now I'm gonna make that delicious white milk gravy
2:10
that we love down here.
2:13
I'm gonna ever so gently walk this down to the deep fryer.
2:17
And I'm just gonna pour this
2:21
into my fryer and hold me back just enough grease
2:27
And that's gonna be couple of tablespoons.
2:35
Our pan's nice and hot,
2:38
and I'm probably adding a couple of tablespoons of flour.
2:43
Now, to our flour and leftover drippings,
2:47
I'm gonna add a little salt,
2:51
and this is the ingredient that I do love
2:53
in white milk gravy, and that's coarse ground black pepper.
2:58
All right, now I'm gonna add some sweet milk.
3:06
Sweet milk is Southern talk for just plain old whole milk.
3:10
And I don't know how much of this milk it's gonna take,
3:13
but I had out a quart,
3:15
then I'm down to about a cup and a half left.
3:19
That looks just perfect.
3:22
Look at that piece of chicken fried steak.
3:25
Isn't that yummy looking?
3:35
And now I'm gonna drizzle that gravy
3:39
on top of those biscuits.
3:42
And then I'm gonna come over here
3:44
and get me just a little bit of gravy
3:48
for that chicken fried steak.
3:52
And just because I need something green on that plate,
3:59
I'm gonna stick a couple of green onions on it.
4:04
How yummy does that look?
4:26
It just screams America.
4:30
No matter where you go, you can find this comforting dish.
