Extra-Crunchy Chicken-Fried Steak with Cream Gravy

J. Kenji López-Alt

Servings:4

Once you’ve perfected crispy fried chicken, it’s only a hop, skip, and a jump to Texas-style chicken-fried steak—that is, beef steak that’s fried in the style of fried chicken and served with a creamy, peppery white gravy. The key to great chicken-fried steak is starting with the right cut: you want an inexpensive cut with plenty of beefy flavor, but tenderness isn’t especially important since it will be plenty tender from the pounding and brining. My go-to cut for this is flap meat (also sold as sirloin tips), though bottom round or top sirloin will also work well if you can’t find it.

Ingredients

牛排

  • 2汤匙。辣椒
  • 2汤匙。freshly ground black pepper
  • 2茶匙。garlic powder
  • 2茶匙。干牛至
  • 1/2茶匙。辣椒
  • 1磅的皮瓣肉(也以牛lo尖出售),切成四个4盎司。
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • Kosher salt
  • 1-1/2杯通用面粉
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1茶匙发酵粉
  • 4杯蔬菜缩短或花生油

For the cream gravy

  • 2汤匙。无盐黄油
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 medium cloves garlic, minced or grated on a Microplane (about 2 tsp.)
  • 2汤匙。all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

准备

  • 将辣椒粉,黑胡椒,大蒜粉,牛至混合在一个小碗中,并与叉子彻底混合。
  • Place each steak on a cutting board and score at 1-inch intervals against the grain, cutting 1/4 inch deep into the meat; flip and repeat. One at a time, sandwich each steak between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat pounder or the bottom of a heavy skillet until approximately 1/4 inch thick.
  • 搅拌酪乳,鸡蛋,1汤匙。盐和2汤匙。大碗中的香料混合物。加入牛排,转换为外套。将碗的内容物转移到加仑大小的拉链锁冰箱袋中,冷藏至少4小时,然后再过夜,偶尔翻转袋子以重新分配内容,并均匀地涂上牛排。
  • When ready to fry the steaks, make the gravy: Heat the butter in a 10-inch heavy-bottomed nonstick skillet over medium-high until foamy. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes (lower the heat if the butter starts to brown). Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until fully absorbed, about 1 minute. Add the milk in a thin stream, whisking constantly. Add the cream, whisking, and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. Simmer, whisking, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and plenty of pepper. Keep warm while you fry the steaks.
  • Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, 2 tsp. salt, and the remaining spice mixture in a large bowl. Add 3 Tbs. of the marinade from the zipper-lock bag and work it into the flour with your fingertips. Remove the steaks from the bag, allowing the excess buttermilk to drip off, drop the steaks into the flour mixture, and toss and flip until thoroughly coated, pressing with your hand to get the flour to adhere in a thick layer. Shake the steaks over the bowl to remove excess flour, then transfer to a large plate.
  • 将烤箱架调整到中间位置,然后将烤箱预热至175°F。将缩短或油加热至425°F,用中高火(约6分钟)用中火加热12英寸铸铁煎锅。根据需要调节热量以保持温度,请注意不要让脂肪变得更热。
  • 小心地将2个牛排放入锅中。调节热量以在烹饪期间保持温度在325°F。炸牛排而不会移动2分钟,然后用铁丝网蜘蛛小心地将牛排搅拌,小心不要将任何面包屑弄碎,然后煮至底部变成深金棕色,约4分钟。小心地翻转牛排,继续煮熟,直到第二侧变成金黄色,大约3分钟。
  • Transfer the steaks to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain for 30 seconds, flipping them once, then transfer to a wire rack set on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining 2 steaks. Serve with the cream gravy.

    The cream gravy to delicious. Don't leave this out. It might be a bit more involved than most recipes, but it is extra crunchy. I use chicken and love it, although I wind up having to double the recipe on everything!

    Thought this might be too spicy, but it was very good. The gravy was a good offset to the spice.

    出色的食谱!我用深炸而不是在烤箱中炸。配绿豆,土豆泥,酵母卷。没有使用肉汁食谱...我用过的培根润滑脂剩下的是我认为的肉汁比黄油更好。当我手头时,还使用了粉状酪乳。牛排非常脆,面包屑完美。下次我打算在面包屑后冻结一些时,以备将来使用。

    Made this tonight for my family. Although I made it quick using on sale cube steaks. I used the breading recipe, but added a touch of spicy salt seasoning. I also added bread crumbs around 1/2 cup, and an additional 1/2 cup of flour, since the spice mix was quite a bit. The egg wash was just three eggs and thickly made buttermilk from powder. Double dip and fry in a cast iron pan. Packaged cream sauce was awesome with it, since I wanted to be quicker about it. Thanks for the inspiration!
