country fried steak

Southern breaded cutlet

Country fried steak is a Southern American dish of beef steak that's been tenderized, breaded, and pan-fried, typically served with white gravy.

It's closely related to chicken fried steak, though the terms are sometimes used interchangeably.

Regional distinctions exist: country fried steak may come with brown gravy while chicken fried steak gets cream gravy, but usage varies.

The diner's country fried steak came smothered in peppered gravy with mashed potatoes on the side.
