### **What Makes Chicken-Fried Steak So Special?**
Chicken-Fried Steak is a Southern classic that starts with a tenderized cut of beef, often **cube steak**, which is then breaded and deep-fried until golden brown and crispy. Despite the name, it’s not made with chicken; it gets its name from the frying technique that’s similar to **fried chicken**. The crispy coating, combined with the juicy beef inside, makes each bite utterly satisfying. When served with creamy mashed potatoes and a rich, flavorful gravy, it’s comfort food at its finest.
