re: Is it possible to make good country fried steak at home?

Bad thing about deep frying versus the iron skillet is that you won't be able to make as good a milk gravy to go over the mashed potatoes that are the required side dish with CFS. And I've floured and dropped, but leaving them sit in the fridge makes a significant difference in the batter sticking IMO. Obviously restaurants don't have that luxury. That is, the ones that aren't dropping the pre-breaded Sysco version.
