Chicken Fried Steak Sandwich Recipe

Prepare the Breading Station

In three separate bowls, set up your breading station: one with flour mixed with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, another with buttermilk, and the last with beaten eggs.

Bread the Steak

Dip each cube steak into the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Next, dip it into the buttermilk, and finally into the beaten eggs, ensuring a thorough coating each time.

Fry the Steak

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded steaks in the oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Sandwich

On the bottom half of each sandwich bun, place a layer of lettuce, followed by a slice of tomato. Add a piece of the fried steak on top.

Add Condiments

Spread mayonnaise on the top half of the bun before closing the sandwich.

Make the Gravy

In the same skillet used for frying the steak, melt butter over medium heat. Sprinkle the flour into the melted butter, whisking continuously until a roux forms, about 1-2 minutes.

Add Broth

Gradually add beef broth while whisking to ensure no lumps form. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
