I have been a vegetarian for the last 4 years, and missed some of the things I used to eat. Chicken fried steak is one of them; so through searching recipes and my own experience with fake meats , I created this awesome recipe. It tastes just like the real deal, especially with country gravy (McCormick has a mix that doesn't have any meat). Ingredients:
12 ounces light life beef veggie crumbles (vegetarian ground beef) |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup breadcrumbs |
1/2 red onion, chopped |
8 ounces mushrooms, sauteed |
2 teaspoons braggs liquid aminos or 2 teaspoons soy sauce |
3 teaspoons black pepper |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon onion powder |
1 tablespoon steak seasoning |
1 1/2 cups water |
1 cup flour |
1/2 teaspoon thyme |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
2 teaspoons salt |
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast (or other thickening agent) |
3/4 cup vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Mix beef crumbles with eggs, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, red onion, mushrooms, Bragg's (or soy sauce), 1 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1 Tbs steak seasoning.
2. Form into meatballs, only slightly flattened.
3. Brown in a pan with about 2 Tbs oil (3-4 minutes).
4. Allow to cool (a plate with a paper towel on top works best).
5. For batter/breading mix water, flour, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, thyme, cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 1/2 tsp black pepper, 2 tsp salt, yeast (or thinkening agent).
6. Allow batter to chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
7. Heat 1/2 cup oil in a pan (do drip test of batter into hot oil to be sure if it's hot enough/too hot, ect) on medium heat.
8. Dredge meatballs in batter and shake off any excess.
9. Fry 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
10. Place on paper towels to drain.
11. Goes great with mashed potatoes and gravy.
12. Hope you enjoy!
