- Place cube steaks onto cutting board and season both sides with Chop House Seasoning generously.
- Place 1 cup of flour into a bowl, set aside. Crack 3 eggs and add 1 cup of milk into another bowl, whisk and set aside. In a third bowl, add 1 cup of flour, cayenne pepper, 1 tsp Chop House Seasoning, and the crushed saltine crackers. Mix and set aside.
- Dredge cubed steak in flour, dip in egg mixture, and then coat with Saltine mixture.
- Fire up your Louisiana Grill and set the temperature to 350°F. If you’re using a gas or charcoal grill, set it up for medium heat. Set a cast iron pan on the grill and pour about ½ inch of flavorless oil into the pan. Insert a temperature probe into the oil and allow the pan to preheat until the oil reaches 300°F, then place the chicken fried steak into the pan.
- Once the oil comes up to temperature, fry the steaks in 2 batches for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until the steaks are golden brown and crispy. Remove steak to a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
- Optional gravy step: Place butter into the pan, and add flour to pan and cook over medium heat for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk and cook until thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- To serve, pour the gravy over the steaks and sprinkle with extra Chop House Seasoning if desired.
