BRAGGIN' RIGHTS CHICKEN FRIED STEAK
List of Ingredients
2 lb Roundsteak, sliced 1/2 inch-thick and twice-tenderized
2 c All-purpose flour
2 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Baking soda
1 tsp Fresh ground black pepper
3/4 tsp Salt
1 1/2 c Buttermilk
1 lg Egg
1 T Hot red pepper sauce
2 Garlic cloves, minced
Crisco for deep frying
Recipe
Cut steak into 4 equal portions. Pound until each is about 1/4 inch thick.
Place flour in a shallow bowl.
In a second dish, stir together baking powder, soda, pepper and salt; mix in buttermilk, egg, pepper
sauce and garlic. The mixture will be thin.
Dredge each steak first in flour, then in batter. Dunk steaks back into flour and dredge well, patting in the flour until the surface of the meat is dry.
Add enough shortening to a deep cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven to deep fry steaks in at least 4 inches of fat. Bring temperature of shortening to 325 degrees. Fry the steaks, pushing them under the fat or turning them as they bob to the surface, for 7 to 8 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Drain steaks on paper towels and transfer to a platter.
Divide steaks among 4 plates and serve with mashed potatoes and gravy.
