Chicken fried steak is the comfort food we all love. However, you may be missing this family favorite if you’re trying to eat healthy. Or, if you are caring for a gluten-sensitive person.

Air Fryer Chicken Fried Steak is a quick and easy recipe to make. There’s very little prep work, it doesn’t leave a big mess, and you can have dinner on the table for your family in less than half an hour! It uses cube steak, which is an inexpensive cut of meat that grills up nicely every time.

As a bonus, the gravy is dairy-free and only takes a few minutes to make!

How To Make Chicken Fried Steak In An Air Fryer…

For Steak:

  1. Beat together two eggs in a shallow bowl
  2. In a separate shallow bowl whisk together almond flour, tapioca flour and seasoning
  3. Dip each cube steak in egg and coat well
  4. Transfer to flour mixture and use hands to coat well and press mixture into meat
  5. Spray generously with avocado oil and place in air fryer basket
  6. Cook at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes until steak reaches internal temp of 165 degrees (spray 1-2 additional times with oil if needed)

For Gravy:

  1. Heat butter in small saucepan over medium heat
  2. Whisk in flour and let cook 1-2 minutes

  6. If too thick, add more chicken broth

Pro Tips:

I find it better not to flip the steaks during cooking to prevent losing any breading. They already cook pretty evenly in the air fryer.

Want to give your steaks a little extra kick? You can add some red pepper flakes or extra pepper to the flour mixture.

Make sure you spray the breaded steaks generously with the avocado oil so that they will brown up while cooking.

    What is almond cooking milk? Is it different than regular almond milk?

      I think it’s just that it’s shelf stable in smaller cartons to be able to keep on hand. I haven’t tested it but I think it would work with regular almond milk as well.
