chicken-fried steak
Southern breaded beef
Chicken-fried steak is a Southern American dish of beef steak pounded thin, breaded, and fried in the manner of fried chicken.
It's typically served with cream gravy, mashed potatoes, and other comfort-food sides.
The name describes the cooking method, not the ingredients—there's no chicken involved.
The diner's chicken-fried steak came smothered in white gravy.
