What are some good sides I should make?

Nothing too complicated though. I was thinking some mashed potatoes with a nice white gravy and something else?

What does /ck/ do with their chicken fried steaks?

I;m pretty sure that's beef anon

>> No.9543638

Mashed potatoes & onion gravy with lots of pepper in it.

Steamed carrots with brown sugar, maybe creamed lima beans?

Asparagus panfried with a bit of orange zest, parm, butter.

Spinach or collards cooked with bacon/hamhock and garlic?

Think steak sides and go from there. Also classic southern sides. Anything you might put with a fried porkchop.

Slow cooked green beans would be killer and nostalgic as fuck, thats something my grandma would make. Lots of onion, a bit of bacon, add in potatoes and butter towards the end til they're nice and soft

I'd go for some slow braised greens myself, but I could eat my weight in collards, and I know not everyone goes for them.

It's pretty clear just from the term that it's a steak fried the way you would fry chicken.

Well, slow cooked green beans generally means you're making a lot of them. I grew up in Appalachia so anytime they were making a lot of green beans = low, slow, 2-4 hours tops with a big batch from the garden to last a few days eating. Low & slow means any of the strings left-on are also generally taken care of too so they aren't tough (most of the time.) But they're also real easy to just slowcooker. You can also pressure cook em but you gotta over-compensate on seasoning a bit.

If you want things on the quick side I'd say stick to spinach, asparagus, quick pan-fried thin green beans that are very fresh and not string-type (frozen works too, budgets and shit.)

Because you batter, or flour and fry it, like you would a chicken steak (read: Chicken breast, or filleted/butterflied piece of chicken breast/thigh/etc) or whole piece of chicken.

You don't need 10+ different seasonings. The whole point of chicken fried steak, just like most American foods, is that they were things that were simple and readily available to a pioneer or a farmer. It's all folk culture my dude and if you can't appreciate that then you should get your head checked. A constant scramble towards a cosmopolitan high culture is retarded. So again, not everything needs to be super fucking complicated for have a dozen different spices.

What else do you expect from a Europoor. I'd wager he's a Brit, so all of their food is desiccated boiled cabbage sprinkled with cigarette ash and vinegar or stolen from India because they got so sick of boiled gray veg.

British breakfasts are nice and I like their various ways of doing roasts and stuff. I just think that you tend to get these attempts at classing things up and over complicating them, this isn't just with their food neither. Brits especially have this thing where they both try to posh it up while at the same time being some of the trashiest people. I get less of a feeling of that with Germans, Poles, Swedes, etc.

A Schnitzel takes like 1 min longer to make. Most basic dish there is, no fancy flaunting with a million spices, but some salt and pepper is all I am asking for. As a German, seeing that shit makes me sad. I'm not saying it's uneatable, but it seems like a waste of good meat.

Thanks lad. I ought to raise me Whiskey glas to you.

In all seriousness, sorry for shitposting. Just couldn't resist.

I think that stuff would be interesting with Metaxa sauce. May be a bit more work, but could be worth it.
In that case, a side of salad and German style roast potatos would fit in nicely.

I always do mashed potatoes and a well made green salad.
My chicken fried steaks are huge, so they take up most of the plate. One you add the mashed potatoes and gravy, you don't need much else. So, I make a nice green salad with vinaigrette, gotta add some roughage in there with all that.

How does one make a gravy? Do you deglaze the pan with stock and add flour?

>> No.9547785

>>9547624
You take some of the grease you fried the steak in, and add flour to make a roux. Once the roux is ready, add milk, slowly, while whisking, let it come to a simmer and whisk until it's thickened . Season with salt and pepper to taste, and you have basic gravy.

>> No.9549459

>>9547785

For the benefit of those who might not realize it, when you do this you need to do it in the same pan that you fried the chicken fried steak in so that you pick up any meaty bits that stuck to the bottom.
