A chicken-fried steak made with hamburger. Very nice flavor! Salt and pepper are your friends in this recipe.
Ingredients
- ½ pound ground beef
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 4 eggs
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or more if needed
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Divide the meat into 4 pieces
- and flatten into thin beef patties. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat until almost smoking
- and cook the beef patties until browned on both sides
- about 4 minutes per side; set the cooked burgers aside. Drain excess grease but leave any browned drippings in the skillet.
- In a shallow bowl
- mix together 1 cup of flour with salt and black pepper. In a separate shallow bowl
- beat the eggs until smooth
- mixing in a half teaspoon of water if needed.
- Heat the vegetable oil in the skillet over medium heat. Dip both sides of cooked burgers into the eggs
- then dredge in the seasoned flour; repeat 3 times to build up a thick coating on the burgers. Place the burgers into the hot oil
- and pan-fry until golden brown on both sides
- about 5 minutes per side. Set burgers aside.
- Spoon away any excess vegetable oil. Melt butter in the skillet over medium heat
- and stir to loosen any brown flavor bits left in the bottom of the skillet. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of flour until smooth. If you prefer a very thick gravy
- use more flour. Gradually whisk in milk
- cooking until the gravy is thick. Season to taste with salt and black pepper
- and serve the gravy over the chicken-fried beef patties.
