Country-Style Chicken Fried Steak with Creamy Gravy 🍽️

Step 3: Make the Roux
Pour off most of the oil, leaving about 4 tablespoons in the skillet along with the flavorful browned bits. Whisk in 3–4 tablespoons of the leftover seasoned flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Step 4: Finish the Gravy
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the gravy thickens to your liking.

Tip: If the gravy becomes too thick, whisk in a splash of milk. If it’s too thin, let it simmer a little longer—it will thicken as it cools.
