Introduction
Golden, crispy, and smothered in rich country-style gravy, chicken-fried steak is a true Southern comfort classic. This dish takes humble cube steak, coats it in a seasoned flour crust, and pan-fries it to perfection before topping it with creamy homemade gravy. Paired with mashed potatoes, cornbread, or green beans, it’s the kind of meal that feels like a warm hug on a plate.
