How to Make Chicken Fried Steak with Redeye Gravy
- For the chicken-fried steak: Place steaks between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using the flat side of a meat mallet. Lightly pound the steak, using the textured side of the meat mallet. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap, and chill for 1 hour.
- Combine flour and the next 3 ingredients in a bowl. Whisk together the eggs and the next 2 ingredients in a separate bowl. Sprinkle both sides of steaks with salt and black pepper.
- Dip the steaks in the egg mixture, and dredge in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Repeat the procedure two more times.
- Fry steaks, 1 at a time, in hot oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 4 to 6 minutes on each side or until golden. Add oil as needed when frying. Drain each steak on a wire rack in a jelly roll pan. Serve with redeye gravy.
- For the Redeye gravy: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; add bacon, and cook, stirring occasionally, 5-7 minutes or until done. Add the ham and the next 3 ingredients; saute 3 to 4 minutes or until the onion is translucent. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add flour. Cook stirring constantly, 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.
- Slowly whisk in milk and the next 2 ingredients; bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring often, for 14 to 18 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and add chives and cracked pepper.
