Question 3

How do you fry chicken fried steak?

Accepted Answer

You can either deep-fry or pan-fry chicken fried steak, depending on your preference and equipment. Deep-frying will give you a more even crust and less oil absorption, but it requires more oil and a deep pot or fryer. Pan-frying will give you more control over the cooking time and temperature, but it requires flipping the steaks halfway through and draining them on paper towels.

Question 4

How do you make the gravy for chicken fried steak?

Accepted Answer

The gravy for chicken fried steak is usually a creamy country gravy, made with some of the drippings from the pan. After you cook the steaks and while you are keeping them warm, remove all but a few tablespoons of fat from the pan. Add an equal amount of flour and cook for several minutes, until it turns a warm brown color. Crumble in a stock cube or use broth instead of water if you want more flavor. Slowly pour in milk, whisking until smooth and fully incorporated. Season with salt, pepper, and any herbs you like.

Question 5

How do you reheat chicken fried steak?

Accepted Answer

If you have an air fryer, this works great for reheating chicken fried steak. Set the temperature for 360°F degrees and heat for about 5-6 minutes (until warmed through). Reheat the gravy in the microwave or on stove top and pour over steaks when serving. Chicken Fried Steak can also be reheated in the oven at 375°F degrees for about 15 minutes (covered with foil) or in a skillet over medium-low heat (flipping occasionally) until hot.

Question 6

When does Chicken Fried Steak expire?

Accepted Answer

Store-bought chicken fried steak usually has a use by date on the package, and for the best quality, it should be used by that date. Once opened, the steak should be consumed within 2 to 3 days when kept in the refrigerator. If you've prepared homemade chicken fried steak, refrigerate leftover within 2 hours of cooking, and consume within 3 to 4 days. Should you decide to freeze the steak, it can last for about 2 to 3 months.

Question 7

How do you tell if Chicken Fried Steak is bad?

Accepted Answer

Check the steak for a change in color or smell. If the steak has a slimy texture or unpleasant or sour smell, it has likely gone bad. If you see any signs of mold, discard the steak immediately. When in doubt, it's best to err on the side of safety and not consume the steak.

Question 8

Tips for storing Chicken Fried Steak to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Store your chicken fried steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to keep it fresh longer.

• If freezing the steak, use freezer bags and press out as much air as possible to avoid freezer burn. You may also want to partition the steaks into individual portions for easy thawing later.

• To defrost frozen steak, place it in the refrigerator for 24 hours before you plan to use it. Never defrost food at room temperature, as this can encourage bacterial growth.

• Reheating your steak is best done in the oven for a crispy texture. A microwave can make it soggy.
