Chicken Fried Steak
- 1 14 lbs round steaks, bonless, fat trimmed and pounded a 1/4-inch thick
- 34 cup non-dairy coffee creamer
- 1 12 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 14 teaspoon sea salt
- 14 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 14 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 18 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Bob's Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
- 14 cup grapeseed oil
- 4 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
- 12 teaspoon thyme, dried
- Using a meat tenderizer hammer, pound out each steak to make about 1/4" thick.
- Soak meat in mocha mix mixed with vinegar, salt & pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper and set aside.
- Duplicate the same measurement of the seasonings, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, sea salt and pepper in a shallow bowl with your 1 cup of flour.
- Drain meat of milk and dredge in flour mixture, then dip in milk again and then dredge in flour.
- Set meat on a rack set over a baking sheet while the oil heats.
- Place about 1' of grapeseed oil in a deep fry pan.
- Once oil is heated add pieces to the pan and fry until brown.
- Do not crowd the pan.
- Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil, then immediately place meat on a wire rack and place in a warm oven.
- Continue until all pieces are cooked.
- For your gravy, in another fry pan, cook up your bacon until very crispy.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in the pan and set the rest aside.
- Add about 1 tlb of flour mixture used to dredge the meat in, to the hot bacon grease and mix until it looks like slush.
- If not thick enough, add more dredge until it looks almost dry.
- Brown this mixture but keep stirring it to keep from burning it.
- If you don't brown this mix, the gravy will taste uncooked.
- Slowly add in the non dairy coffee creamer, (mocha mix regular) marinade (with the seasonings added) until it makes a thick, bubbly gravy.
- Taste then season with salt, thyme & lots of pepper if needed.
- If you run out of dredge or marinade, just add more plain flour to thicken the gravy or non dairy creamer to thin it.
- Serve each piece of meat with gravy on top and crumbled pieces of bacon.
