Why do they call it Chicken Fried Steak?

Contrary to its name, this dish is actually make with beef and not chicken cutlets. The name "chicken fried" comes from the way the steak is prepared, with an egg wash and crunchy fried coating.

You can also use any thin cut of steak in place of cube steak if you like. Be sure to tenderize the steak using a meat tenderizer first to achieve that classic chicken fried steak texture.

3. Dip the cube steak in an egg wash and turn to coat both sides with the egg.
4. Lay the egg coated steak in the crunchy crust coating.
5. Flip the steak to coat both sides with the crust.

Note: Usually cube steak is sold in large pieces. To get four servings of chicken fried steak, I recommend cutting them in half before preparing.

Doing this will also make it easier to flip while cooking and will ensure that the beef cooks evenly.

Other Options for Chicken Fried Steak Coating

If you don't have pork rinds, you can also use almond meal or crushed low carb crackers. Keep in mind, however, that the coating may not have quite the same crunchy texture as fried pork rinds.

Can I make this chicken fried steak egg free?

If you need an egg free option for your keto steak, you can use heavy cream in place of the egg wash.

Simply dip the beef in the heavy cream and then coat with the breading and cook according to the recipe instructions.
