Instructions

1 Take your meat and cut it into individual sized portions. Use a meat tenderizer,
or any hard blunt object and pound out the meat into thin pieces. About 1/2 cm
thick.
2 In a skillet add the vegetable oil and bring it up to a boil.
3 In a shallow dish add the flour and all the seasonings. Whisk together. In
another bowl beat an egg. Dip your meat into the flour, then the egg, then back
to the flour making sure every part of the meat is well coated.
4 Drop the meat into the boiling oil and flip after 30 seconds. It only takes
about a minute total per piece of steak.
5 Let the meat rest and begin on your gravy.
6 Empty the pan with the frying oil (you don't need to clean it, just dispose of
the oil properly. Crumble the sausage into the pan and put the heat on medium
low. Let the fat render and the sausage brown.
7 Take a tablespoon and scoop up a heap of the seasoned flour. Sprinkle it over
the sausage stirring the pan to break up the flour bits. Add the butter and stir
everything together. Then while stirring slowly trickle in the heavy cream. Let
reduce to the desired consistency. Taste if it needs more seasoning (the flour
was seasoned so it may not) and then adjust to taste.
8 Plate the chicken fried steak and spoon over the sausage gravy. Serve
immediately.
