Chicken fried steak is just wienerschnitzel made with beef instead of veal. It's delicious. If you don't want a gloopy white gravy, don't put it on your steak. The resto where I have eaten was fine with serving the gravy in a small bowl, instead of on the meat. In fact, I don't remember if I even had to ask them to leave it off the meat.
True. CFS was created by the many German immigrants who came to Central Texas in the 1800s.
