It doesn’t get more Texan than Chicken-Fried Steak & Gravy. For those who have yet to venture to the Lone Star State, the name of this recipe sounds like a conundrum. To put it simply: beef steak is pounded out to as thin as can be and then fried in a thick batter to resemble fried chicken. Chicken-Fried Steak & Gravy is really the best of both protein worlds. Smother the crunchy steak in a smooth gravy for a texture explosion.
