A reader from Wisconsin had never heard of chicken fried steak either. It is simply beef steak that has been prepared and fried in the same way that Southern fried chicken is made. There's no chicken to it!

If the grease does not have an intensely buttery flavor, I consider it a waste of my Recommended Daily Amount quota.

I'd never put milk in a gravy for roast beef, for example. This gravy (known by various names - cream gravy, milk gravy, white gravy, country gravy) is a Southern (US) thing usually made with fried chicken, CFS or breakfast sausage.
