Every Dad's Dream Meal! Chicken Fried Steak And Eggs!

buttermilk

🥗Healthier: low-fat yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + vinegar

Low-fat yogurt reduces calories while providing similar tanginess.

cooking oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Olive oil is healthier but more expensive than common vegetable oil.

biscuit mix

🥗Healthier: homemade biscuit dough

💰Cheaper: flour + baking powder

Homemade options can be healthier and more economical.

beef steak

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: pork cutlets

Chicken is leaner, while pork cutlets can be more affordable.

Tenderize the beef steak using a meat mallet until about 1/2 inch thick.

Season both sides of the steak with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for buttermilk, and one for beaten eggs.

Dredge the steak in flour, shaking off excess, then dip it in buttermilk, and finally coat it with eggs.

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the breaded steak in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the steak and drain on paper towels.

In the same skillet, reduce heat and add butter to make the gravy.

Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden, then slowly add milk while whisking to avoid lumps.

Cook the gravy until thickened, about 3-5 minutes, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare eggs to your liking—scrambled, fried, or poached.

Serve the chicken fried steak topped with gravy alongside the eggs.

Garnish with parsley and a dash of hot sauce, if desired.
