Chicken Fried Steak with Jalapeno Bacon Gravy- the southern classic gets even better when the gravy is flavored with jalapenos and bacon for a salty, spicy kick.
What is traditional Chicken Fried Steak and Gravy made with? Chicken Fried Steak is made with cubed steak or round steak that has been tenderized. Cubed steak is my first choice because it is already tenderized and it is inexpensive. Chicken Fried Steak is a great recipe for turning cheap meat into a delicious comfort food meal. The steak is typically coated in flour and/or cracker crumbs and fried until crispy. The pan drippings and milk are used to make a gravy. The gravy for chicken fried steak is pretty plain-tasting, but delicious none-the-less. I like it even better with diced jalapeno and crumbled bacon added. Just these two additions give a very different flavor profile to Chicken Fried...
