I posted this on another thread per request but it belongs here so...I also include a pic below!
My favorite thing to cook doesn't have a recipe per se. Meaning I don't put exact amounts of everything each time, but it's pretty much the same. It's my Chicken Fried Steak and Garlic Mashed Potatoes.
Start off with cube steak - very important as it will help hold the breading better than other steak. Secret, I think, is to marinate the cube steak for at least 2-3 hours and I like to batter mine twice for extra crispy.
Marinade is simple: Lea and Perrins, Montreal Steak seasoning, Season salt, minced garlic.
For the breading just flour but mixed in with lots of pepper, more Montreal steak seasoning, season salt. Simple egg wash makes the meat sticky to absorb the batter. I dip once - let sit - dip twice and pan fry.
Simple cream gravy on top makes delicious.
Garlic Mash is easy, just leave some skin on potatoes and mash with milk, butter, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and garlic powder to taste. I also put some chives in mine.
YUM!!!
