About Chicken fried steak

Chicken Fried Steak is a classic Southern comfort dish with origins in Texas, blending influences from American and German cuisines. Despite its name, it’s typically made with a tenderized beef steak, like cube steak, coated in a seasoned flour mixture or breadcrumbs, then fried to a golden crisp in oil or butter. It’s traditionally served with creamy white gravy, often made from pan drippings, milk, and flour. While Chicken Fried Steak offers a hearty source of protein, it’s also high in calories due to its frying process and rich gravy. Its carb content comes from the flour-based coating, and the dish can have higher levels of fat depending on the frying medium. Some healthier variations include baking or air frying to reduce grease or substituting lean cuts of beef. Pairing it with lighter sides like steamed vegetables can balance its indulgence without sacrificing flavor.
