In response to message posted by tamara_peters:LOL, I used Bud, too! And it was wonderful! Y'all, this recipe is almost easier than popping a can of biscuits. My husband is never going to stop asking for fresh bread now!

In response to message posted by recipe_addict:Thanks for the encouraging words! You know, I have never had the country-fried steak at Cracker Barrel. I've eaten there a few times but it has been awhile. What's it like, exactly?
I actually fixed what we call "chicken-fried steak" for supper last night. Very easy. Tenderized, round steak dredged in flour and battered in an egg and evap. milk mixture and fried up in a skillet of hot oil. Served with gravy, of course! :-) You could season up your flour with black pepper, paprika, or some other spice that suits your fancy, if you like.
Glad you visited!

In response to message posted by lperry:I talked to my mom today and she said she thinks that country fried steak is made with chopped steak... I guess I will just have to try it!

In response to message posted by recipe_addict:I found this while browsing around today and figured I'd add my 2cents to the country fried steak discussion.
Here's how I do it:
Take your minute steaks (the flat, round kind-of-steak with holes poked all through it)... coat it on both sides with seasoned meat tenderizer - I use the brand from the dollar store... Let that marinate for several hours. When I'm fixin' this, I put the tenderizer on it first thing in the a.m. and then cook for supper.
When you're ready to cook it, dip in egg and then dredge in all purpose flour. Heat about 1/4" of oil in a cast iron skillet, and fry the steaks, turning frequently, til brown on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside. (Remember, they're minute steaks - so they cook pretty quick. Once they're brown, they're good and done.)
Toss 3-4 tbsp of flour into the grease and make a rue... then pour in about 2 cups (more or less) of milk and whisk quickly... turn your heat down to medium-low and simmer til thick, whisking frequently. Add about a tbsp (yes, a tbsp) of black pepper (course is better) and stir in. Pour this over your country fried steaks, and be sure to serve with mashed potatoes and green peas... oh, and biscuits 'cause you don't wanna waste any gravy LOL Maybe serve some sliced tomatoes, too
Hope ya like this! Minute steak is as close as we can get to true country fried steak.
Love & Hugs,
Dar

In response to message posted by DarleneCheek:WOW! I always see those in the store and am clueless on how to make them. I have to print this one out.
With a family of 6, I have to budget and minute steaks are so inexpensive. I know what I am buying and making this coming week

In response to message posted by Tery:I call the ones in the store "mystery meat" LOL They're so much better homemade. Let me know how your family likes 'em! If Dave had his way, this is all we would eat... ever!
Love & Hugs,
Dar

In response to message posted by DarleneCheek:Hi Dar, I am going to have to try this one for sure. Do you mean what we call cubed steak? I think they're the same thing. This does sound like something my husband would like. He's a finicky eater.
I often pan fry these in a little butter, then sautee green peppers, onions, and mushrooms to toss over them. Mmmm good!
Can't do black pepper though. It doesn't like me very much. 
Going to print this out and add them to my grocery list as well.
Hugs,
Tamara

In response to message posted by tamara_peters:Ah, most men love it, Tamara Meat & taters, ya know! And yep, that's the other name I was looking for LOL cubed steak. Sounds good the way you do it, too! I don't think I could live without black pepper... sometimes it gives me severe asthma attacks, but I don't mind at all LOL
Let me know what ya think!
Love & Hugs,
Dar
