Chicken Fried Steak Gravy Recipe

When it comes to Southern comfort food, chicken fried steak is a classic choice. This hearty dish, made with a tenderized cut of beef that is breaded and fried to crispy perfection, is a beloved staple in the South and beyond. But what really takes chicken fried steak to the next level is the gravy that is often served alongside it.

Homemade chicken fried steak gravy is a delicious and flavorful addition to this classic dish. While store-bought gravy can be convenient, it can't compare to the rich, savory taste of a homemade version. Plus, making your own gravy allows you to control the ingredients and ensure that it's made with high-quality, fresh ingredients.

To make the perfect chicken fried steak gravy, start by creating a roux, a mixture of butter and flour that acts as a thickening agent. From there, add in milk or cream, along with chicken broth and a splash of white wine (if desired). Then, it's all about seasoning. A bit of garlic and onion powder, along with some dried herbs, can add depth and flavor to the gravy. And don't forget the salt and pepper – they'll help bring out all the other flavors in the dish.

Once your gravy is made, it's time to pour it over your chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. The creamy, savory sauce will complement the crispy, pan-fried steak perfectly, creating a truly indulgent and satisfying meal.

So next time you're in the mood for some classic Southern comfort food, give this chicken fried steak with homemade gravy recipe a try. It's sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
