Chicken Fried Steak

I cut this recipe in half because it was just for Ben and I. It turned out amazing and delicious however, there may or may not have been a little fire involved.


Ingredients

4  beef cube steaks
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 egg
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (I used Tabasco)
3 cups vegetable shortening for deep frying

I used packaged gravy for the topping ... I know lame! The recipe was slightly more complicated though so maybe next time.


Directions

1. Heat the shortening in a deep skillet.

2. Place 2 cups of flour in a shallow bowl. Stir together the baking powder, baking soda, pepper, and salt in a separate shallow bowl; stir in the buttermilk, egg, and Tabasco Sauce.

3. Dredge each steak first in the FLOUR, then in the batter, and again in the flour. Pat the flour onto the surface of each steak so they are completely coated with dry flour.

4. Fry the steaks until evenly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Place fried steaks on a plate with paper towels to drain.
I swear the steak is under all that gravy.
