Chicken fried steak is a quintessential Southern comfort meal that evokes a warm and comforting sense of homemade cooking when served at your dinner table.
The dish’s roots combine the rustic nature of rural food with elements derived from the German Wiener Schnitzel, resulting in a delightful combination. This recipe is ideal for anyone looking to transform a cost-effective piece of beef into a succulent, crunchy, and really enjoyable dish. Truly, it seems like a comforting hug served on a dish after a tiring day.
This meal pairs very well with velvety mashed potatoes, which are ideal for soaking up the rich gravy, and may be served with buttered green beans or sweet corn on the cob to offer a refreshing and vibrant touch. To enhance your comfort experience, consider adding a flaky biscuit to the spread.
