Might as well put this here. Another first for Mp34mp's Test Kitchen. For no absolute reason, I thought of a King of the Hill quote about Chicken Fried Steak, and why the hell I haven't had it in almost a decade, and decided, "I'm gonna make this sh*t."

As stated before, I have no cooking skills and am an amateur cook. Also I had no top-round steak, so substitutions were made. I used a somewhat thin ground beef burger pattie and figured that would be too thick for the oil in the skillet to cook it, so I cooked that first on the skillet. Then the burger was floured, dipped in an egg / milk mix, then rolled in a mix of flour, breadcrumbs, black pepper and some salt, added the oil to the skillet and then fried for about 5 minutes on each side.

As for the white cream gravy, I didn't feel like using bacon grease & didn't have enough burger grease to make it, so I used some concentrated chicken base paste and made some chicken gravy out of that. If you want to see the final results of the meal, click on here  and here

Basically, it's a native Texas dish, its orgin of German and Austrian immigrants to Texas in the nineteenth century who brought recipes for the c l a s s i c Austrian dish wiener schnitzel. As for the Chicken Fried Steak part, that's apparently more of a method of frying than anything. Also you're supposed to have mashed potatoes and a veggie with this, but I wasn't up for that, so I had some shoe string potato chips and some cold tomato juice. Also going for extra effort, ate this tasty dish with a Texas native soda, of Dr. Pepper. So yeah, I'm a big crazy Texan poser. "Yeah I eat steak every god damn day!! Don't mess with Texas!!"
