MAIN COURSE~
********CHICKEN FRIED STEAK
2 pkg. tenderized cube or round steak
1 c. whole milk
1 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. black pepper
1 1/2 - 2 c. cooking oil
Good heavy skillet
I start heating my skillet first and when it gets warmed up (7 minutes), I add my cooking oil and let it heat also. While that is heating up, I get the steak ready, pound each steak with the side of a mallet or palm of your hand until very thin. Place steaks (2 at a time) in shallow dish containing milk. Next, mix the flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Remove steak from milk, dredge in flour mixture, place into skillet and brown on both sides. Continue cooking until all steaks are cooked.
CREAM GRAVY:
1/3 c. hot steak drippings
1/4 c. flour
2 c. milk
Salt and pepper to taste
I use another skillet, let it get hot and add steak drippings, flour, salt and pepper. Stir with wire whisk until blended. Next add 2 cups milk, continuing to stir until gravy thickens. Serve with chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes.
*******HEAVENLY MASHED POTATOES
1 bag red potatoes 5 lb (or potatoe of choice)
3/4 of a 16 0z container of onion sour cream (give or take)
1/4 cup parsley (give or take)
1 stick salted butter (give or take)
3 tablespoons coarse black pepper (give or take)
2 tablespoons coarse kosher salt (give or take)
Leaving skins on the potatoes, wash them well. Large potatoes can be cut into quarters; smaller in halves. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Place potatoes in the ater and cook until fork tender. Strain water and leave potatoes in hot pot to dry.
Add the butter and sour cream.
Using a masher, blend all ingredients. Add parsley, salt, pepper; blend with masher. According to taste, mash to consistency desired. For creamiest potatoes, use a wand blender inserted in pot. Add more butter, sour cream, or spices to taste.
Serve as is or place potatoes in casserole dish and bake until top is golden brown and crunchy in a 425 degree oven.
