Chicken Fried Steak

Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs

Here is my recipe as promised. I love a comfort food once in awhile like anyone else. But don't be scared to make this and think it's an unhealthy dish "fake news". I also buy a package of chicken tenderloins to keep in the fridge for the boys to heat up after school, since the breading is the same and this process is a labor of love.





Ingredients:
  1. 4 cubed steaks and chicken tenderloins
  2. 2 cups buttermilk
  3. 2 cups seasoned flour
  4. 5 eggs and 3/4 cups milk
  5. 2 cups crushed Club crackers
  6. 2 cups wheat panko
  7. 3 Tablespoons Red Robin Seasoning
This dredging station and coating mixture came from many variations over the years and this is the one that has passed the test of time for me.

Directions:
  • Coat cubed steaks and chicken tenderloins in buttermilk (separate pans...duh}
  • Cover both sides in the flour seasoned with salt and pepper. shake off excess flour.
  • Dip both sides into the egg wash of 5 eggs and 3/4 cups milk whisked.
  • Cover each side in the 50/50 Panko Club cracker and Red Robin Seasoning mixture. Let sit for 10 minutes on a platter.
When pan frying I always use an electric skillet. Getting the temperature maintained at 350 degrees is crucial to keep the oil from going into the meat. I use canola oil. Once the temp is to 350 put 2 steaks in and cook 4 minutes each side until no red is running out.
Put onto a platter lined with paper towels to soak oil and immediately season once again with seasoning salt or my secret ingredient Red Robin Restaurant seasoning.

Gravy: You can use the milk pepper gravy recipe, but due to my low calorie lean diet I used a packet of 2 cup country gravy mix using 1 cup water and 1 cup skim milk.

OUR BETTER THAN FAST FOOD ONION RINGS

Onion Rings 4 Large White Onions 6 Cups Unbleached Flour 3 Tablespoons Salt 3 teaspoons of Garlic Powder 1 1/2 teaspoons of Black Pepper 2 1/2 teaspoons of Paprika 4 Large Eggs 1/2 Cup Milk Canola or Vegetable Oil for frying These are the BEST homemade onion rings. Not much batter, light, crispy and delicious. It seems like it would be overwhelming, but actually it is well worth the time. Start out with 4 large white onions. We have found these work the best.  They have a really great flavor. Next, slice them up. If you do them a little on the thin side, they cook up really nicely and are a perfect consistency. When you slice them, only keep the bigger rings. The middle pieces are not as good for the rings. I usually only keep the first 4 to 5 outer rings and toss the rest. Next, add the seasonings to the flour. I have 3 bowls that I set up for flour and wet ingredients. The first bowl will have ...
