The tenderizing process involves mechanically breaking down the muscle fibers, making it a more affordable and quicker cooking option compared to other cuts.
What is the difference between Country Fried Steak and Chicken Fried Steak?

Sawmill gravy, a common accompaniment to Country Fried Steak, is a type of brown gravy typically made with pan drippings from fried meat, flour, milk, and seasonings. It can also include vegetables like onions and peppers.
Is Country Fried Steak healthy?
Country Fried Steak can be high in calories, fat, and sodium due to the breaded and fried preparation, and the gravy.
However, healthier variations exist that use leaner cuts of meat, whole-wheat flour in the batter, and lighter gravy options.
