Chicken Fried Steak

Texas' premier comfort food, chicken fried steak, has no chicken in it. It is called such because the steak is breaded and pan-fried much like fried chicken. A descendant of the German dish wiener schnitzel, it is traditionally made with round steak. Top round is the most tender.

Press the steaks into the flour to ensure complete coverage and then shake off any excess.
