Country Fried or Chicken Fried Steak

My mother brought by some goodies that she found on sale at the grocery. (My mother is a thrifty shopper. It's amazing some of the stuff she finds.) One of those items was cubed round steak. I only know of one way to fix cubed, round steak so I made Country Fried Steak with white gravy & steak fries.


The meat was kind of tough - that's sometimes what you get when you buy stuff on clearance... :(

I also found this interesting recipe by Paula Deen and this history lesson about Chicken Fried steak.
