Chicken Fried Steak Patty Melt

First of all, I didn’t grow up calling this fried steak ‘chicken fried steak’.
However, Wesley insists that’s the correct term.
If you are uninformed, as I was, ‘chicken fried’ is the process of
coating the steak in the buttermilk (or milk) and flour then frying
thus giving it a fried chicken-type exterior.

We usually make the steak and have it with biscuits and gravy.
But, I had bought a loaf of Texas toast and thought it would be a great twist
to do it Patty Melt style.

Salt and pepper the steak.

Add 1 c self-rising flour to a platter and milk or buttermilk to another platter.

Set flour and milk dishes up assembly line style and heat 1/4 c oil in a skillet.

Dip steak in milk then flour, coating both sides

(Notice Big Daddy’s hand making its’ debut)

Heat oil on med hi (about 350 degrees), add steak

Cook steak about 2 minutes on both sides until golden

Remove from pan and drawn on wire rack

For Patty Melt, butter one side of 2 pieces of Texas toast

 

add steak, cheese, and sauteed onions

 

Grill both sides of sandwich

 

Enjoy!
