So glad to have the full length instructionals. Keep up the great content Andy

Thank you 🙏 🙏🙏

Yes! Thank you Andy for making my day better! OHIO native here.

Im from Detroit Michigan and grew up eating this dish for our family Sunday dinner. It was always so decadent and comforting. My mother shallow fried the steaks in half lard and beef tallow in a cast iron. The cream gravy was from scratch and loaded with black pepper. We had mashers and buttered peas for side dishes. The way your steaks look remind me of hers. Great job from the U.S. mate. Please dont stop this type of content I love your vids and your style of cooking.

[@leechrec]

Shiiiieeettt your mom definitely knew what she was doing. Frying in lard/tallow, must've tasted awesome.

[@filam7371]

Hello from the west side of the state! I only had this on the rare occasion that we went out to eat...so good though.

[@chingron]

One of my favorite dishes of all time…

[@sitcheyr9352]

Yes, in the south we like our pepper too! We load our breakfast ( white) gravy with pepper.

[@terrywilliams8585]

Same. I'm from Michigan also. A great memory from our Sunday dinners.

[@toddledford9245]

From the Southern US, you my friend has made a wonderful looking "chicken fried" steak with "sawmill gravy," and YUM! Mom would pour off most all the oil from a cast iron skillet leaving the fond behind. Then make the gravy on top of that. A wonderful video, and I hope you enjoyed a superb dish!!

I was hoping someone had left this comment.

[@a.mathis9454]

👍👍

[@nerofl89]

From the South as well, my mom would the saved up pork/sausage/bacon fat for either fried chicken or chicken fried steaks; always was a treat because we would use all the fat for a big portion of gravy for the rest of the week as well, I really miss that.

[@leechrec]

Nothing like good ole comfort food. Always hits the spot.

Best cook I've ever seen on KZbin

One of the great American classics, Country/Chicken Fried Steak is wonderful.

[@hefeibao]

What I love about your videos is A) You make dishes I want to eat B) you explain it in a way I can easily follow along in my kitchen.

[@katalynakbr]

As an expat American in Australia, I agree 100% we need to see more country fried steaks around the traps! Looks amazing!!!

[@dirkgibbens377]

This is my go-to order at Cracker Barrel restaurants in the Midwest US. Pretty tasty! CB uses cast iron for a great deal of their dishes… even their pancakes, which are awesome

[@kevinfoley7704]

Making the cube steak cuts by hand is incredible. Excelent knife skills. That looks delicious.

[@nickdelahunty9516]

This is so awesome having an aussie on the youtube cooking scene!!

Thanks 🙏

This is a Texas staple with mashed potatoes and cream gravy, green vegetable 😋 Thank you for sharing this ❤

[@filam7371]

That looked delicious Chef! I agree with you about the scoring. It is an important step that shouldn't be skipped. You did great!

[@charlie-km1et]

I like this format for your videos. Very quiet music. Good information on ingredients and technique. Quick, concise and to the point. Not to much background visuals but great lighting and camera work. I could concentrate in the food and what you were saying and it looks delicious.

[@billk9856]

Chef! I was torn between a gas top and an induction top in my new kitchen. Of course! you have made me realise I can have both!!

[@TIGRWOODS]

Looks great. I love your shorts but am very anxious to see more full videos. You’re an amazing Chef so thank you!

[@robind8149]

Good job, Chef Andy! I often make steak fingers too… you just cut the cube steak into strips and prepare them the same way, and serve with gravy or cocktail sauce (like for shrimp), and they are amazing!!!😉🙏❤️

[@dianareddell1496]

Hi Andy!…Texan here, that looks delish! I would add more pepper and I would use buttermilk in place of regular milk in the dredge and in the gravy. Really tasty.

[@leeteague8126]

My mom used to say "add pepper until you think you have too much, then add a little more"

[@jsegovia]

Looks like Andy did use buttermilk for the dredge but regular milk for the gravy. Never thought to use buttermilk for gravy but might have to try it!

[@tcmr5775]

Yes ma'am! That's how my momma made it growing up! Fellow Texan here as well =)

[@engineear5571]

I found you through your shorts, I like this longer format too! My high school had country fried steak every other Thursday, it was the most popular meal at our school, people would be running to the cafeteria for it. To this day, I think that school did it the best, it was amazing.

[@465maltbie]

Its one of my favorite meals, thanks for sharing your recipe. Charles

As a southerner here in the USA I have to say I whimpered a little bit when you plated it next to the mashed potatoes and greens. 🤤🤤It made my mouth water. You definitely did it justice. 👍👍

[@TexAgsArmyVet]

Come to Texas, we can show you a few things. Much love from Texas. Southern food is the best!!

[@jerrylong3580]

I found it. Well done chef looks absolutely delicious.

[@gummby85]

Country fried steak and eggs with country gravy is hands down my favorite breakfast.

[@rbu2136]

Hi Andy…one home cook tip…I always use the dredging flour for my gravy. Like you also used some of your oil. Helps cut down any waste. My grandmother even used to freeze her dredging flour to keep re-using it. I always wondered how bacteria from raw meats would impact but she always did it. I just use it for my gravy then toss.

[@c0ng150]

Such a great thing to see different cultures creating American favorites

Love both formats. This is definitely a good break from the typical tik tok, much more informative format where we can learn the why to specific techniques. Thank you for sharing the knowledge and hope you’re loving the rest kitchen job! 👌🏼👌🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

I am growing to love these videos. So calm and easy to hear, to watch. And the menu is just amazing. I'm constantly starving for this delicious food, which appears to be prepared perfectly.

Great recipe Andy! Add a twist! Soy sauce black pepper garlic powder stir in flour then add milk. Yum 😋😋

One of my favorites at any steak house. You can always tell if an establishment really knows its business on how good their country fried steaks are.

Wasn't this Guy an actor from Bloodline, and Beyond the Pines.. What an amazing chef! Thx for all the vids Country fried steak is so great late at night !

I just want to say Thank You. Chef, your videos have started to reignite my passion for cooking. I haven’t had a chef that i have a “connection” with since Emril. Please continue to do these videos.

[@ThinkingAvidly]

spot on. Made me want to cook this again. was a weekly tradition with a roommate of mine

[@fearchild9758]

I lived most of life in the southern US, which included a fair amount of traveling for work. Based on that experience, here is what I found to be the difference(s) between country and chicken fried steak. Country fried uses a less tenderized piece of meat, less oil, and definitely less batter. That’s what my mom made, but she called it chicken fried steak. Your country fried steak is actually chicken fried. Unless that one place south of Wharton had the right of it; chicken fried uses beef and country fried uses pork. You’re doing some great content, sir.

[@danielpreilly77]

Yah this is available in diners in America, terrific demo. Going back and checking out your old videos, well done Andy

[@martinzepeda8298]

I love country fried steak. Thanks for posting.

[@deborahjessup4154]

Country fried steak is the ultimate comfort food from my childhood. I learned to make it just a tad different than your recipe. Flour the steak 1st, then put it in the egg bath, then breadcrumbs. After frying all the steaks you make the gravy in the same pan you fried the steak's so you get all the bits left in the pan. Add butter to a little bit of the oil left from frying, then add your flour, then milk. I think I know what I'm having for dinner. Oh... We usually had peas with the mashed potatoes and steak. ❤️😀

[@dannieboi3742]

This is a fantastic first long format recipe video chef. Cannot wait to see more!

[@Ceciliamtzz]

Delicioso!!Hoy lo cociné y que cosa más deliciosa, muy buen tip de marinarlo y dejarlo toda la noche..

[@meme2u507]

This was really great please make more. I love your shorts but this was very instructive. ❤️🤭 love you.

[@terihubbard4247]

If you want it really crunchy, use crushed saltine crackers. Pan doesn't matter as long as its big enough to fry. Season meat, season flour, no need to season saltiness. Yours looks perfect!

[@sunshone6978]

Love country fried steak and also your rendition fried in beef tallow 😁👍😋🙏 PS yes, every pub should have it on their menu in Australia ❤

[@stratsteveo106]

Living in the southern United States this is a very common dish at the local diners. I would go down the street to my grandmother's house on Sunday for breakfast and chicken fried steak with grits and a sunny side up egg was the good eatin. Dont forget the hot sauce 🤠

[@knottyhead007]

Man I Love watching u cook

[@kristinhale199]

As a southerner, I feel so proud watching this! It truly is such a simple but special dish, I'm glad you made it! Yours looked Some people may say there's a difference between country fried steak & chicken fried steak, but tbh, that's only true to them and their particular culture. In the real world, they're both used interchangeably... Your white gravy looks bomb too! A+++ video!!!

[@lordofgonzo]

No, they aren't. Other than being fried, they're nothing alike.

[@swayz03]

They’re literally exactly the same thing. Served the same, same ingredients same cook method. Absolutely no difference whatsoever. I’m a southerner. I know what I’m about.

[@josephdavis2695]

@@lordofgonzo that’s not true at all. They are the same exact thing. People started using “country” in lieu of “chicken” to avoid confusion about what kind of meat was being served (since it’s always steak but people get hung up on the “chicken fried” moniker).

[@charliedavis8894]

You're all wrong. Chicken fried steak is dipped in egg then flour and served with white gravy made from milk and pan drippings. Country fried or Smothered steak is only dredged in seasoned flour and served with brown gravy and normally the steaks are simmered in the brown gravy The methods and gravies are the difference. Look it up. The south and west usually use white gravy while the northeast through the Midwest usually use brown gravy although one can find both around the country.

[@sterlingdaugherty7004]

From texas here. About as close to mine with the exception of browning my S&P with the flour creating a roux. Then adding canned half canned milk with half water. To make an extremely smooth gravy.

[@anaughtymoose]

I'm from Nebraska a.k.a. the center of the USA. Here that dish is on the menu of every diner and most gastro pubs have some version of this on the menu. Your recipe and results looked great! The idea you get to introduce friends to this dish makes me jealous. My favorite spin on this is to cut the steak into strips about one and a half inch wide before breading them. It is like chicken strips but made of steak.

[@ImpendingApotheosis]

I think It was Dairy Queen that sold basically that as steak fingers, idk if you've ever heard of him but Kent Rollins has a video making them and they looked great!
