Chicken fried steak with gravy is more than just a dish—it’s a cherished tradition in Southern cooking. This meal, often enjoyed at family gatherings, combines tender, breaded steak with a rich, creamy gravy that perfectly complements the crispy coating. Its roots can be traced back to German and Austrian immigrants who brought their recipes for wiener schnitzel to the Southern United States. Over time, this dish evolved into the beloved comfort food we know today.
