Cuban-Style Chicken Fried Steak
- add review
- #101024
Chicken-fried steak is as Southern as it gets, but that doesn't mean you can't put a twist on it. Cumin and oregano in the breading add a Cuban flair, and the squeeze of lemon seals the deal.

ingredients
2 eggs, well beaten
3 cups dry fine bread crumbs
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups vegetable oil, for frying
4 cube steaks (4 ounce size)
directions
Place the beaten eggs in a shallow dish. Combine the bread crumbs, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper in another shallow dish.
Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.
Dip each cube steak in the egg mixture, coating completely and letting any excess drip off. Next, dredge each one in the breadcrumb mixture, coating completely.
Place the steaks in the hot oil and cook, turning once, until light golden brown on both sides.
Serve hot with lemon slices and gravy or other sauce, if desired.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Quick, easy and tasty recipe. I would say that the amount of breadcrumbs is way too much. I made only 2 cube steaks, measured 3/4 cup and could have used only 1/2 cup of crumbs. Recipe is a keeper.
