History of Chicken Fried Steak
There are a few competing histories of chicken fried steak, but the general agreement is that it’s a descendent of wiener schnitzel, that’s spent plenty of time in the American South. German and Austrian immigrants brought their love of breaded and fried meats to the United States with dishes that were commonly prepared with veal or pork. However, as beef became more readily available in the US, people began substituting it for veal. Now, chicken fried steak is almost always a tasty cut of tenderized beef deep-fried in a crunchy batter and served with gravy.

Best Gravy and Side Dishes for a Chicken Fried Steak Meal
What’s chicken fried steak without gravy? Omaha Steaks Chicken Gravy to be specific. Our super-popular, super-easy gravy is the best — it uses a Veloute sauce which is a chicken stock reduction thickened with a little white roux. Instead of that fatty, wallpaper paste gravy that you often see with this dish, ours has an incredible layered chicken flavor that pairs perfectly with chicken fried steak.
Speaking of pairing, stick with the southern theme and serve it with Steakhouse Creamed Corn, Green Beans in Butter Sauce, or both. Try our Omaha Steaks Smashed Red Potatoes or something similar for starch but there’s really only one thing that matters here. It’s gravy. Top EVERYTHING with a creamy gravy.
