Introduction
Country Fried Steak (sometimes called Chicken Fried Steak) is a true Southern comfort-food classic: tender beef, coated in a crispy crust, and smothered in a creamy gravy. The outside becomes golden and crunchy, while the inside stays juicy and flavorful. It’s simple, hearty, and deeply satisfying — perfect for a cozy dinner that hits just right.
With some basic ingredients and a few cooking steps, you can recreate this hearty meal at home. The savory gravy brings it all together — making it feel like an old-fashioned Southern dinner on your own table.
Ingredients
For the Steak
- Tenderized beef steaks (cube steak or thin round steak works well)

- Salt and pepper (and optionally paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper for extra flavor)
- Eggs and milk (or buttermilk) — for coating before dredging in flour
- Neutral frying oil (vegetable or canola oil)
For the Creamy Gravy
- Pan drippings or a bit of oil from frying the steak
- All-purpose flour (to build a roux)
- Milk (whole milk works best for richness)
- Salt and generously ground black pepper (gravy is often peppery — that’s part of its Southern charm)
