Chicken Fried Steak

Ingredients

  • 2 - 3 pounds round steak ( tenderized (that means you beat it with a meat tenderizer...which looks like a hammer with serrated pounding surface. Wrap the meat in plastic wrap or wax paper first to avoid splattering yourself and your kitchen. If you don't have a meat tenderizer, use a regular mallet. For best results, think about any one of the following while pounding: your boss, the guy that cut you off in traffic, the President, Vice President, any member of Congress, the IRS, any person with any responsibility over Veteran's Affairs, terrorists in general...you get the idea).)
