Monday Dinner 2-7-11

I got some top round steaks from Costco so why not make some chicken fried steak? I had some Yukon Gold potatoes for the mash and some green beans for the veg.

The steaks were thin so it didn't take me too long to "beat my meat". I applied Bert's Special Seasoning to them on both sides (thank you Food Network) then dredged them in flour with BSS in it.

I heated my cast iron skillet up then added olive oil and unsalted butter to the pan. I cooked the steaks on both sides them kept them warm in the oven.



Once all the steaks were cooked, I used a little bit more oil and butter then put the leftover flour dredge in the pan to make a roux. I whisked 2 cups of chicken broth into the pan, the Costco Organic kind in the box, good stuff and a pantry staple, then added some milk until it looked right.

I waited until it thickened then gave it a taste. I felt it was a little salty so I put some water in it and that helped. I then had to thicken it back with some corn starch slurry.

It turned out OK; I gave it a grade of B as I have done better.

Tomorrow is darts so it is time to do a restaurant review of Danny K's Billiards & Sports Bar.
