look at it like this.
texas has double the cows and beef production than the runner up state.. we know meat, and how it should be prepared or needs to be prepared.. wether thats a fatty brisket thats been sitting at 180°f smoking for 24hrs with perfect bark etc or triple dipped and deep fried with gravy. both are delicious and take some tlc to get right
chicken fried steak originates in this great state side by side some of the best common dishes. brisket, also popular in the south has alot of connective tissue, not exactly a great cut if cooked like a rib eye. most southern cuisine comes from cheap dishes. the chicken fried steak is also a cheap piece of meat.. well a few cuts really.. that usually has to be beaten and tenderized. the methods of cooking is what makes it
i would never put steak sauce on a steak lol, a1 can go extinct for all we care .. ruins it. i wouldnt normally fry a more expensive cut, but yiu certainly can. diced up, and fried. its bangin
its as southern as peach cobbler, nilla bean ice cream, grits, biscuits and gravy, catfish, fried pickles etc.
you need some dirty in you yess..
good shit....if made properly.
