How To Make It Extra Crispy

We have a few tricks up our sleeve for making the cutlet extra crunchy.

First, we dredge tenderized cube steaks in corn starch.

EXPERT TIP: Corn starch helps to create a crispy breading and is often used in Asian fried food.

Dredge the cube steak in corn starch.

Next, we're going to make a thick wet mixture consisting of the following ingredients:

Flour
Beer
Milk
Egg
Chili powder
Smoked paprika
Salt and pepper

Mix until fully incorporated. The mixture will be thick. Plunge the steak into it and let the excess drip off.

Dip the steak into a wet batter flour, beef broth, milk and seasonings.

Now, dredge through flour seasoned with adobo seasoning and pepper.

EXPERT TIP: Now, to make it super crispy, plunge it once again in the wet mixture and then in the seasoned flour.

The Best Method for Frying

We recommend frying the breaded steaks in a sturdy skillet with an inch or two of hot vegetable oil.

The weight of the steak will ensure that the breading adheres to the meat as is fries.

EXPERT TIP: Make sure your oil is at 350°F. These steaks only take a few minutes per side. Because they are so thin, they cook quickly.

Fill a large skillet with just enough oil to partially submerge the steak as it fries.

A Dairy Queen Classic Sandwich

Dairy Queen is an iconic fast food restaurant that has been popular in the Southern U.S. since the 1940s.

Their DQ Dude is what we are modeling our chicken fried steak sandwich after.

To make it even better, we're making our buns from scratch. They are so much easier to make than you might think!

No disrespect, but we just can't do that.

This sandwich is begging for homemade cream gravy.

When To Serve

This sandwich is just so much fun to serve. It's great for a festive lunch or feeding a crowd to watch the big game.

We love to invite guests over and let them create their own monster sandwiches.

EXPERT TIP: The fried cutlets can be made a couple of hours in advance and then kept in a low-temp oven. The gravy can easily be reheated on the stove. If necessary, add a little more cream to the gravy.

We are big fans of Dairy Queen, and would never disparage this trail-blazing institution.

Seriously, we wouldn't.

But, if you want the best chicken fried steak sandwich in the world, you can now do it in your very own kitchen!
