Chicken-fried steak is a classic southern dish that is usually made with tenderized round steak. The steak is dipped in an egg batter and fried to golden brown perfection. Chicken-fried steak bears some resemblance to wiener schnitzel, a german dish which is usually made with veal or pork. This delicious steak makes a fabulous everyday family meal. Serve the steaks and gravy with mashed potatoes, green beans or corn, and a tossed salad. In this southern version, a simple cream or milk gravy is made with some of the drippings left in the pan.
