Chicken fried steak is a classic Southern comfort food that originated in the United States, influenced by Austrian and German schnitzel traditions. It features tenderized beef steak, typically cube steak, that’s breaded in seasoned flour or breadcrumbs and pan-fried or deep-fried to a golden crisp. It’s often served with creamy country-style gravy made from drippings, along with sides like mashed potatoes and green beans. While chicken fried steak provides protein from the beef, it’s also high in calories, saturated fats, and sodium due to the breading, frying process, and accompanying gravy. Overconsumption may contribute to health concerns like weight gain and heart issues. Moderation is key, and lighter variations can be prepared by baking rather than frying or using leaner cuts of meat and reduced-sodium gravy. Its nostalgic flavor and hearty texture make it a favorite indulgence for many across the U.S.
