Why pie plates?
Frying them up....>>7087525
>>7087525
my thought exactly
Burned them
:(
Gravy actually turned out decent and pretty tasty
>>7087531
You didn't even pound them did you?
All in all wish I wouldn't have burned it and it could have been a little more rare for my taste but I still enjoyed it. First time cooking this and I'm obviously a novice but I can't get better if I don't make some mistakes.
>>7087559
He didn't. Totally beats the point of chicken fried steak
>>7087521
They're too thick anon. You gotta pound them out thinner. Tenderizes them too

Gravy looks 8/10
Meat looks 0/10
>>7087560
That really looks like chicken for some reason.
>>7087560
Good attempt, and you're right, no one perfects a dish on the first attempt. Some anons recommended pounding the meat thinner, next time you should try that and keep the rest of your cooking process the same, see what works for you.

Next time pound out the steaks until they're as flat as can be. That'll prevent your coating from burning before the steaks are cooked. Your coating also needs work. Double coat if you didn't and make sure you cover the whole thing. Also looks like you didn't use enough milk in the gravy. It should be a whitish grey, not brown.

Why do cake forks have less tines?

what the fuck is this
why
What's with all the cooking threads today?
I'm used to this place being fast food central.
>>7087672
Nobody wants to go outside to get fast food, it's too cold.
>>7087567
that cut is tough and chewy as all fuck OP. the whole point of chicken friend steak is to pound that turd into pancakes then batter and fry it to make it something approaching palatable

I'd reccomend you attempt this recipe instead http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2015/02/chicken-fried-steak-recipe.html
First thing I noticed was the breading looked pitiful, but that gravy looks dank. Shame you burnt them though; but like others said you're gonna wanna pound them down thinner.
I'd reccomend you get an instant read thermometer (one that goes above 220F so you might not find one at your supermarket. Fucknuts.) and using a deeper pan and actually frying them.
Your kitchen will get a bit messy though, so clean up afterwards unless you like grease fires and panicking and throwing water instead of flour onto said fire and getting 2nd and 3rd degree burns all over yourself.

supposed to promote dantier bites and theoretically cakes don't require as much force to cut through.
I recommend cube steak for chicken fried.
You could even go to town on them with one of pic related after the store hits em.
Remember that the purpose of the meat is to deliver fried crust and cream gravy to your mouth hole.
You are going to cook it through anyways. Breading and frying well done kobe beef would be a waste, for example.
Use cheap meat, pounded thin, so that it cooks quick but gets tender. You also don't want to saw through it with a knife. Some of the best chicken fried steak can be cut with the edge of a fork or a butter knife.
I also recommend using more oil. I can see from how the steaks came out that they were only getting heat on the very bottom. If you can get oil halfway up the meat, then a flip would result in total crust coverage. We aren't pan searing, we are deep frying.

>Tenderize the meat, using a needling device
what a shit recipe!
Way more oil needed in the pan. Cook them for less time. It won't be burnt and it will be medium rare. I don't even know what degree of doness your steak is; it's like a new kind of well done (looks like chicken).
Also, why would anyone ruin a steak by doing this? If you really have a hankering for a sauce, get a nice peppercorn sauce or some shit.
Chicken fried steak is dumb.

>Chicken fried steak is delicious.
ftfy
Proper chicken fried steak is eaten with white gravy.
>>7087521
Use cube steak dredge and fry hot and quick
Make sausage gravy to cover before cooking steak/s
Well chicken fried steak is a trial and error thing.
You won't get it on your first try.
Looked okay though.

>White """gravy"""
Why do Americans use words wrong?
>>7090653
That's a Bechamel sauce, you fucking idiot.
>americans ruining schnitzel

DIFFERENT LOCALITIES SOMETIMES USE THE SAME WORDS DIFFERENTLY. SOCIETY AT BRINK OF COLLAPSE. NEWS AT 11.
Every widespread language does this.

is that the american version of a schnitzel?
>>7091293
>That's a Bechamel sauce
No it isn't, it's not white gravy either . It's cream gravy
>>7087531
What is that, like 2 tbsp of oil? Jesus, if you can't reach at least halfway up the chicken, don't even bother.
Credentials: I worked at kfc and can cook dank fried chicken
>>7090653
Yep. Also known as "cream gravy".
I must say, there isn't enough cream gravy on that.
This chicken fried steak has more gravy, but the gravy looks rather thin.
>>7091293
Actually, it isn't a bechamel sauce. Or if it is, it has no place on a chicken fried steak.
Proper cream gravy for a chicken fried steak is made from the drippings in the pan (pour out the extra) rather than butter.
>>7087531
That's not much breading. I've had breaded chicken fried steak many times and it can be quite good. The amount of breading is nearly always disappointing.
I prefer to make a batter and dip the chicken fried steak into that.
>>7087567
Next time cut them in half long ways, THEN tenderize them.
>>7087521
That's not chicken.
OP here
Can't believe this thread is still up. I will take your suggestions under consideration and retry this, and perhaps make a follow up thread
BTW it's my birthday now and I'm drunk
>>7094642
