Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cube steaks
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
In another shallow dish, whisk together eggs and milk.
Dredge each cube steak in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dip it into the egg mixture. Dredge again in the flour mixture to create a double coat.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each coated cube steak for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Do not cook through; this step is only to form a crust.
Place the seared cube steaks in the crock pot, layering slightly if needed.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, and add butter. Once melted, whisk in any remaining seasoned flour mixture to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Stir in the ranch seasoning mix and cook until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the heavy cream to create a creamy ranch gravy.
Pour the gravy over the cube steaks in the crock pot, ensuring all steaks are covered.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the steaks are tender and infused with the ranch gravy.
Serve the chicken fried steaks with the gravy spooned over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
