The Best Southern Comfort Can Offer: Chicken Fried Steak

At COMFORT KETO, we consider the ketogenic version of the Chicken Fried Steak with mashed cauliflower, rutabaga and creamy gravy as the best comfort food south of the Kentucky border. This meal tastes incredible; it feels like the best Southern comfort can offer. There’s nothing else quite like it.

Chef Janine coats her perfectly ketogenic version of her grass fed ground beef with hormone- and anti-biotic free pork rinds. On the side, cauliflower mash, bacon bits and seasonal steamed vegetables (green beens or asparagus) complete the perfect combination. All you need is an ice cold low carb beer.

The Origin of the Chicken Fried Steak

The name for this dish, Chicken Fried Steak is most likely derived from the way the dish is prepared, very similar to frying chicken. Back in the day, the round steak, pork or chicken was coated in seasoned flour, then dipped in eggs, tossed in flour again, and placed in a deep fryer.

The origin of chicken fried steak is thought to be similar to the popular South American dish known as Milanesa –breaded filet of veal, chicken, pork or beef– which was introduced to the continent by Italian immigrants during the 1860s. The way Wiener schnitzel is prepared by German and Austrian immigrants who settled in Texas during the 19th century, undoubtedly influenced the contemporary preparation of this delicious meal.

Today, this meal is so popular that it’s served in all kinds of culinary establishments, from traditional diners to five-star restaurants. Texas and Oklahoma are the two states which are best-known for their Chicken Fried Steak recipes; the latter named the dish as their official state meal in 1988. In 2011, Texas government declared "October 26" as Texas Chicken Fried Steak Day. Texans feel that this dish reflects "the history and diversity" of the state.
