Preparation

Place cube steaks in a baking dish and cover with milk.

Mix crushed crackers, flour, salt, and pepper in a large dish.

Cooking

Heat 1-inch (3cm (1-inch)) of oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Remove steaks from milk, coat in cracker mixture, pressing to adhere.
Fry steaks in batches for 3-5 mins per side until golden brown.
Drain on a wire rack.
For gravy, if oil is clean, retain 60ml in the skillet; otherwise, use butter.
Add flour, whisk until browned, then gradually add milk, whisking until thickened.
Season with salt and pepper.

Plating & Serving

Serve the chicken fried steak topped with cream gravy.
Garnish with freshly cracked black pepper.
Pair with mashed potatoes and green beans for a complete meal.

Notes

Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy coating. Adjust gravy consistency with additional milk if needed.
