How to Make Texas Chicken Fried Steak And Gravy

  1. In a shallow dish, place 2 cups all-purpose flour.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 large eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast (about 1 inch thick) in the flour, then dip in the buttermilk mixture, and coat again thoroughly in flour, ensuring a good crust.
  4. In a large cast iron skillet or Dutch oven, heat 4 inches of vegetable oil (about 2 cups) over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches 350°F (175°C).
  5. Carefully place the steaks in the hot oil, frying for about 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
  6. Remove the steaks and place them on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  7. Pour off all but 6 tablespoons of the oil from the skillet. Whisk in 6 tablespoons of flour to create a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
  8. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
  9. Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Serve the chicken fried steaks immediately, topped generously with the creamy gravy. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
