Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy Recipe

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 4 cube steaks
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if desired).
2. In another dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
3. Dredge each cube steak in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg mixture, and coat it again with the flour mixture. Press the flour onto the steak to ensure it adheres well.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the coated steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside.
5. In the same skillet, discard the excess oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Whisk in 1/4 cup of the flour mixture from dredging the steaks until it forms a paste. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and milk or heavy cream. Continue to cook and whisk until the gravy thickens.
6. Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve the Chicken Fried Steak with the homemade gravy on top, along with the suggested accompaniments.

Before you begin cooking, make sure to remove the membrane on the back side of the pork ribs. It’s not the most pleasant task, but it’s crucial for achieving tender ribs. Just peel away the pink fleshy layer using a knife or your fingers. Trust us, it’s worth the effort!

Once you’ve prepared the ribs, place them in the slow cooker standing up and lean them against the sides. Cooking them upright ensures that all sides are evenly cooked and enhances the tenderness.

Let the ribs cook on low in the slow cooker for 6-8 hours. When they’re done, you have two options to finish them off: broiling or grilling. Brush the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce, such as Sweet Baby Ray’s, and either broil them in the oven for a few minutes or cook them on the grill to give them a caramelized, smoky flavor.

Serve these mouthwatering Easy Slow Cooker BBQ Ribs with creamy coleslaw or a refreshing pasta salad for a complete and heavenly meal. If you’re worried about cleaning up, consider using a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
