Chicken Fried Steak's origins are debated, but it's generally believed to be a Southern or Midwestern adaptation of the German Wiener Schnitzel brought by European immigrants in the 19th century. The technique of breading and frying tenderized meat was already established, and the availability of beef in America led to the use of steak instead of veal.

Chicken Fried Steak offers a comforting and rich flavor profile, dominated by savory and creamy notes.
The steak itself contributes a beefy, umami flavor, which is enhanced by the seasoned breading. The breading provides a crispy texture and a slightly salty, peppery taste. The creamy gravy, typically made with milk or cream, butter, and flour, adds a rich and decadent element. Black pepper is a key ingredient in the gravy, adding a sharp, spicy counterpoint to the richness.

Tenderizing the Steak
Pounding the steak to an even thickness helps tenderize it and ensures even cooking.
Double Dredging
Double dredging the steak in the flour mixture creates a thicker, crispier crust.
Hot Oil is Key
Ensure the oil is hot enough (around 350°F) before adding the steak to achieve a golden-brown, crispy exterior.
Don't overcrowd the pan
Fry the steaks in batches to maintain the oil temperature and prevent them from steaming instead of frying.
Rest the Steak
After frying, let the steak rest on a wire rack to allow excess oil to drain off and prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
