Ingredients

• 4 pieces Plant-based burger patties
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 cup Plant-based milk (unsweetened)
• 2 cups Unsweetened plant-based milk for gravy
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter or vegan butter
• 0.5 cup Vegetable stock (optional, for thinning gravy)

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 2

In a separate shallow bowl, pour 1 cup of plant-based milk.

Step 3

Take each plant-based burger patty, coat it in the flour mixture, dip it into the milk to coat, and dredge it again in the flour mixture. Ensure each patty is thoroughly coated.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry the breaded patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 5

In the same skillet, remove all but 2 tablespoons of the oil, keeping any browned bits in the pan for flavor.

Step 6

Add butter or vegan butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat.

Step 7

Stir in 2 tablespoons of flour from the dredging mixture, whisking constantly to form a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes until it’s golden brown and smells nutty.

Step 8

Slowly pour in 2 cups of plant-based milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. If the gravy is too thick, add a little vegetable stock to thin it to the desired consistency.

Step 9

Season the gravy with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon salt and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste.

Step 10

Serve the crispy patties topped with the creamy milk gravy. Enjoy your Mock Chicken Fried Steak with Milk Gravy!
