Chicken Fried Steak with some ZIPPP!

Chicken fried steak is one of Jennifer's favorite dishes. She tries it at just about every restaurant we visit. Last night we made it at home. I say we made it because I put the eggs and flour together for breading and she cooked it. What a TEAM!!

Anyway, I wanted more flavor in the steak itself. I remember Paula Deen saying that she added hot sauce to her fried chicken batter. So I tried something new. I didn't get any pictures and I wish that smell-o-vision and tast-e-vision from the 5o's and 60's had become a reality, until then you'll have to try this one on your own. Let me know what you think.

Chicken Fried Steak

4 cube steaks
4 eggs
1 cup flour
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic salt
ground black pepper
kosher salt
Tabasco sauce
vegetable oil

You'll need two shallow bowls or pie tins to prepare your breading.
In one bowl, crack your eggs, add tabasco sauce to taste and mix well.
In the second bowl, add flour, paprika, garlic salt, black pepper. Mix seasonings throughout flour.
In large skillet cover bottom of pan with vegetable oil and heat on medium flame.
Salt and pepper cube steaks on both sides.
One steak at a time, place it first into the egg mixture and coat well and then coat in the flour mixture. (TIP: To minimize mess, use one hand for the egg mixture and the other for the flour.)
Once oil is hot, place coated steaks into pan.
Cook til golden brown on each side (4 to 5 minutes).

It has been a long time since I last posted. Sorry for checking out for so long, but I am back. Look for my review of RA Sushi at the District in Tustin tomorrow.

Besides just talking about restaurants, I will now start covering new recipes we try at home. This should make for some fun times and experiments while Eating Around!
