Instructions
For the Chicken Fried Steaks
- Pat the excess moisture from the steaks using a paper towel. Sprinkle evenly with TAK seasoning, and set aside until ready to use.
- Prepare your dredging station by setting out 3 rimmed trays or pie plates.
- In the first tray, mix together 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and a 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- In the second tray, lightly whisk together eggs, milk, and hot sauce.
- For the third tray, combine 1 1/2 cup flour, saltine crackers, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment. Pulse to combine, and transfer the tray. If you do not have a food processor, make sure the crackers are finely crushed, mix with remaining flour and seasoning, and add to the tray.
- Add the canola oil to a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, and allow to come to temperature (350°-375°).
- Have ready a large rimmed baking sheet, lined with paper towels. Place a cooling rack over the paper towels.
- One at a time, dredge the steaks in the seasoned flour, then submerge in the egg mixture, followed by a thorough coating in the cracker mixture.
- Add the steaks to the hot oil, 1-2 at a time, taking care not to crowd the skillet. Fry for 2 minutes on each side or until crispy and golden-brown. Transfer to the cooling rack. Serve and enjoy.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until combined. Allow to bubble for 1-2 minutes, but do not allow to brown.
- Add milk a generous splash at a time, whisking after each addition until all of the milk has been incorporated. Allow the sauce to bubble for 5-7 minutes, just until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy.
