Tex-Mex Chicken Fried Steak

This was a meal inspired by my oldest son. He loves chicken fried steak, so I decided to give it a shot. I normally do not eat fried food, but this steak topped with peppers and onions over the creamy gravy was a hit.

Ingredients:

4-8 thin sirloin or rib eye steaks

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

2 larges eggs beaten

1 cup milk

1/4 cup olive oil

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 poblano pepper diced

2 bell peppers diced

1/2 sweet onion diced

Gravy-

3 tablespoons all purpose flour

3 cups milk

1 teaspoon chili powder

salt and pepper to taste

Serve with biscuits

Directions:

1. Use a meat mallet to flatten the steaks (if they are thick).
2. Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper.
3. Mix the flour, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder in a shallow dish.
4. Mix the eggs in a second dish and whisk to beat.
5. Bread the steaks by dredging them in flour. Then dipping the steaks in the egg mixture. Finally coat both sides once more with the flour mixture.
6. Set steaks on a clean surface.
7. Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium high heat until the oil is hot and the butter has melted.
8. Add the steaks and cook until golden brown approximately 2 minutes per side.
9. Meanwhile cook the peppers and onions in a skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes.
10. Sprinkle the flour over the grease left from the steaks and whisk to combine. Stir for 2-3 minutes and gradually add in the milk and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper.
11. Stir until thick and smooth.
12. Serve the steaks by placing steaks over a dollop of the gravy. Top the steaks with peppers and onions.
13. Enjoy!
