Chicken fried steak (AKA country fried steak) is definitely traditional in Texas and Virginia. It may be that today’s beef is too tender to make it worth the effort.
The same concept breaded pork tenderloin or steak is still a big deal in the Midwest, and today’s pork doesn’t really require it either.
I like steak cooked many different ways. Chicken fried is one of them.
That’s also my favorite recipe for venison.
