National Chicken Fried Steak Day History

In Texas, it seems like major things always happen! This includes enjoying that sinful delicacy, chicken fried steak, which was purportedly created in 1911 after a mistake was made ordering fried chicken instead of steak. But first, a brief primer on fried chicken.

A thin, round cut of beef that is breaded and fried is what is commonly referred to as a “chicken fried steak.” The majority of people accompany it with mashed potatoes and cream gravy. It seems straightforward enough, yet there’s an entire tale behind a dish that deserves respect.

Undoubtedly, the extensive media coverage that chicken fried steak received is one of the factors contributing to its popularity. No matter what name you give it—chicken-fried steak, pan-fried steak, or country-fried steak—this dish is said to have first been mentioned in 1924. The recipe is described as “beef steak coated in flour, fried in a skillet, and served with country gravy being poured on a hot platter and the fried steak being laid over it” by author A.L. Wyman in the “Los Angeles Times.” Later recipes can be seen in periodicals like the 1936 Winnipeg Free Press and the 1949 Household Searchlight Recipe Book. Yet hungry?

However, Texas is where this carnivore’s delight truly starts to take off thanks to three distinct regional variations of chicken fried steak. The beef is dipped in egg and flour in the East Texas variation. According to a former Texas culinary critic, bread crumbs are used in place of flour in Central Texas, and there is no egg dipping at all in West Texas.

The “Lamesa Original Chicken-Fried Festival” was established in Lamesa, Texas in 2011 to celebrate the chicken-fried delicacy.
