Chicken Fried Steak is a beloved Southern comfort food that has a rich history dating back to the early 19th century. This dish is said to have originated from German and Austrian immigrants who brought the tradition of Wiener Schnitzel to Texas. The concept of tenderized beef, coated in seasoned flour and fried, quickly caught on in the Southern states. The dish gained popularity during the Great Depression due to its affordability and hearty nature. Today, it is a staple in Southern cuisine, with variations found in Texas, Oklahoma, and beyond. Notable chefs like Paula Deen and Bobby Flay have put their own spin on this classic dish. For the best Chicken Fried Steak, head to Texas, where it's a menu highlight in many diners and family-owned restaurants. The key to a perfect Chicken Fried Steak lies in the tenderizing of the meat and the seasoned flour coating, which should result in a crispy, golden crust. Some alternative methods include using different cuts of meat, such as cube steak or round steak, and experimenting with various seasoning blends to enhance the flavor profile.
