Homestyle Chicken-Fried Steak with Creamy Mashed Potatoes and Pepper Gravy

ADVERTISEMENT

Plate each steak with a generous scoop of mashed potatoes. Smother with gravy and enjoy hot.

🧊 Tips for Serving and Storing:

Serve with green beans, corn, or biscuits for a full Southern feast.

Leftovers keep well: store steak and potatoes separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for crispy steak texture.

Gravy may thicken in the fridge—add a splash of milk when reheating.

🔁 Variant:

Buttermilk Twist: Marinate the steaks in buttermilk for 30 minutes before breading for extra tenderness and tang.

Spicy Version: Add a pinch of cayenne to the flour mixture for heat.

Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free flour blend for dredging and gravy thickening.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can I use a different cut of meat?
A: Yes! Tenderized round steak or sirloin can also work—just make sure it’s pounded thin.

Q: Can I bake instead of fry?
A: You can bake at 400°F for 20–25 minutes (flip halfway), but the texture will be less crispy than pan-frying.

Q: Can I make it ahead of time?
A: Yes. Fry the steaks and prepare potatoes a day ahead. Store separately, and reheat in oven and microwave before serving.
