Ingredients

Chicken Fried Steak Ingredients:

2 eggs
2 tablespoons Nature’s Seasoning
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 pound cubed steaks

Gravy Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2-3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

Remove steaks from refrigerator and allow to sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F.
Set up a dredging station: in a shallow bowl beat the two eggs. In a second shallow bowl combine the flour and Nature’s Seasoning.
Pat steaks dry with a paper towel and cut in half. Dip the steaks first in the flour mixture, then the egg and back in the flour to fully coat. Gently press in the coating if it seems loose. Lightly tap the breaded steak to remove excess flour.
Lightly oil the air fryer basket or use a parchment liner. Add the breaded steaks in a single layer and mist with oil. Cook for 11 minutes. Turn the steaks, mist with oil and cook for 3 more minutes until internal temperature reads 145 degrees F.
While the steaks are cooking, prepare the gravy by melting the butter in a medium saucepan over Medium heat. Add the milk, salt and pepper. Whisk in a tablespoon of flour at a time, until desired thickness of gravy is achieved. I used 3 tablespoons.
Remove steaks from air fryer with a spatula and top with gravy.

Notes

Don't overcrowd your fryer basket. Overfilling the basket will keep the cubed steaks from getting crispy.
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat leftovers at 360 degrees F for 3-5 minutes in the air fryer.
