Chicken-Fried Skirt Steak with Country Gravy

This hearty chicken-fried skirt steak is a satisfying high-protein dish that brings classic comfort food to your kitchen. By double-coating the steak in seasoned flour and broth before pan-frying, you achieve a wonderfully crisp exterior that contrasts perfectly with the tender beef inside. It is a robust meal that feels indulgent while providing a substantial hit of protein, making it ideal for a post-workout dinner or a warming midweek treat.

The dish is finished with a velvety country-style gravy, enriched with double cream, savoury sausage and a hint of aromatic sage and cloves. Adding spring onion tops at the final moment provides a fresh, bright lift to the deep, peppery flavours. Serve this alongside steamed greens or mash for a complete and wholesome homemade meal.
