Yeah! I finally made a good chicken fried steak! And it’s all thanks to RobinSue! The only thing I didn’t have was as crispy a crust as I would have liked, but this was very tasty! And cube steak is so cheap – I got 5 cube steaks for $3.97!
First I chopped the rosemary for my potatoes – I like a fine chop:
I LOVE the smell of fresh rosemary!
Here’s how the tots look after a quick pan fry. I had Hannah cook the potatoes in the microwave before I got home so they were fully cooked. Just a quick splash of olive oil, salt and pepper finished them off:
Then I sliced up two zucchini into match sticks and did a quick pan fry with a touch of olive oil, garlic salt, pepper and a couple tablespoons of Parmesan cheese:
Then after I removed the zucchini, I dredged my cube steak into seasoned flour. Now maybe I should have done a double dip to get a thicker crust, or maybe my pan wasn’t as hot? Still good though!
here's how they look after cooking while I made the gravy
All together – with my customary crushed red pepper sprinkled over top! Seriously, crushed red pepper should be a condiment just like salt and pepper!
So check out the recipe at RobinSue’s blog – she gets all the credit! There is nothing on t.v. tonight that interests us, so we are going to our DVR. Does anyone watch Gordon Ramsey’s “F Word” on the BBC channel? Check it out – you actually see the softer side other than what you see on America’s version of Hell’s Kitchen. So we have some of those to watch so I am off to relax. See you for breakfast!
Wow, everything looks amazing! Those potatoes look scrumptious!
And no I haven’t see the “F Word”, I have seen the previews for it, but that was it. I definitely will look into it! Hell’s Kitchen is super intense!
That’s some tasty lookin’ comfort food! I must admit, I’ve never had chicken fried steak.
The parm zucchini looks amazing as do the potatoes
I love the BBC!
Your dinner looks really good, I love buying the cube steak. In my area most of the stores I can get in beef, pork and turkey. How does a dinner like this affect your blood sugar? Are you on meds or insulin? After I read you blog earlier about your work out I put on my coat and took a very brisk 30 min walk around my neighborhood. I feel great and I really think it was all do to reading your exercise blog.
My staple condiments: Chili Flakes and Tabasco
OMG! The fiance would LOVE this dinner!
Oooh, this looks delicious. I have never had chicken fried steak before, am I the last person left on earth to try it?!
Oh your chicken fried steak looks really good. I know that J would love it.
I caught the F word the other night, but I like the BBC Kitchen Nightmares where he helps failing restaurant owners back from the edge. He does seem like a nice guy – with a big family, too! Hell’s Kitchen just doesn’t capture that side, though.
i’ve always been confused by CHICKEN fried STEAK. loving the potatoes
actually, i have some in my fridge that need to be used…
love that show and that steak!
Pot roast and now chicken fried steak?! You make the best-looking home-style food ever. The only downside is that looking at the photos makes me want to have some and makes me a bit homesick for my mom’s cooking
I guess I need to learn myself now!
Never seen the F-Word but I have one of his cookbooks and it’s a good one…Fast Food. Great fish & chips recipe in there.
MaryBeth – I am on insulin, so I basically can eat whatever I want – I take one unit of insulin for every 5 grams of carbs I eat – it took a while to dial that in, but my average 30 day blood sugar is 124!
ACK! How on earth did I miss this post. Looks great!!! My hubby likes it crispy with a batter type crust but he will have to go to Sliver Diner for that. Ha! Glad you made it! Got to go my little girl just peed her pants, remember those days? I’ll do more catching up on my blog readings later.
