Chicken Fried Steak is a classic Southern comfort dish with roots traced back to Texas, influenced by German and Austrian immigrant cuisine. This hearty meal features tenderized beef steak, typically a cut like cube steak, which is seasoned, dipped in egg wash, coated with seasoned flour, and pan-fried until crispy. It’s traditionally served with creamy white gravy made from the pan drippings and accompanied by sides like mashed potatoes or green beans. While protein-rich and satisfying, Chicken Fried Steak is often high in calories, fat, and sodium due to the frying process and accompanying gravy. Moderating portion sizes or opting for lighter gravy can make it a more balanced choice. Pairing it with nutrient-dense sides like steamed vegetables can further enhance its nutritional profile. It’s a treasured indulgence that exemplifies rich, comforting flavors of Southern American cuisine.
