Vegan Chicken Fried Steak Recipe

Chicken fried steak is a classic Southern dish that typically consists of a breaded and fried piece of beef steak. However, this vegan version replaces the meat with a plant-based alternative, resulting in a delicious and cruelty-free meal. With a crispy coating and a flavorful gravy, this vegan chicken fried steak is sure to satisfy your comfort food cravings.

Ingredients:

• 4 vegan steak patties
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup plant-based milk (such as almond or soy milk)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. This mixture will act as a vegan buttermilk substitute.
3. Dip each vegan steak patty into the flour mixture, coating it evenly on both sides.
4. Next, dip the coated patty into the plant-based milk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
5. Coat the patty with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the surface.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for each vegan steak patty.
7. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
8. Carefully place the breaded vegan steak patties into the hot oil and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
9. Remove the cooked vegan chicken fried steaks from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil
