Chicken Fried Steak Sandwich Recipe found at MissintheKitchen.com

When my husband and I were dating, we would often grab lunch at a little taco joint that served the best chicken fried steak sandwiches. I normally stuck with the soft tacos, but once I took a bite of Tony’s sandwich, I was hooked.

I’ve been making chicken fried steak for years and our kids were always a little confused as to whether we were having steak or chicken. I would explain that it’s steak, fried like you fry chicken. They would just shrug their shoulders—what really mattered was how much longer until supper was ready!

Sometimes I cut the steak into small pieces and make Chicken Fried Steak Bites with cream gravy —totally irresistible, but a bit more time-consuming and messy. If I’m short on time, Chicken Fried Steak Sandwiches and oven fried tater tots are the way to go.

How to Make Chicken Fried Steak Sandwiches

Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F.
In one bowl, whisk together the egg and milk (add a couple of dashes of hot sauce for more flavor). In second bowl, mix the flour with seasoned salt and pepper.

Dredge each steak in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and back into the flour, ensuring a thick, even coating.
Carefully place the steaks into the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain any excess oil.
Spread Sriracha Comeback Sauce or honey mustard onto each bun, then add lettuce and a piece of crispy chicken fried steak.
Top with the remaining bun and serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

More Topping Ideas: Mayo, pickles, cheese, tomato and red onion slices.
Swap the sauce with Dr Pepper BBQ Sauce or Blooming Onion Sauce for a milder flavor.
Storage: Leftover steak can be refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F to keep it crispy.
