Dave’s Diner – Chicken Fried Steak

03/21/2014 by Laura Leave a Comment

In celebration of MSLS one year anniversary, I have added a new category to our blog:  Dave’s Diner!  Here you will find some of our favorite 50’s style dishes.  Yes, I might finally share my Tuna Noodle Casserole recipe with you, along with other meals that take you right back to your childhood or neighborhood diner!  Our first post in this category – Chicken Fried Steak!  I think the first time I had it was in a diner with my grandparents!  We only make this a couple of times a year for obvious reasons.

4 small cube steaks

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 Tablespoons Mrs. Dash

Add the spices to the flour and place on a large plate or pie pan.

Add the eggs and milk to a bowl that is large enough to dip the steak in.  Mix well

Dredge the steak in the seasoned flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and then dredge in the flour one more time.

Place the steaks in the hot frying pan and brown on both sides.  Move the steaks to a baking pan and set aside.  Bake the steaks about 15 minutes in a 350′ oven, while you prepare your mashed potatoes and make the country gravy.
