Tips to Make Gluten Free Chicken Fried Steak

Make sure to use gluten free all-purpose flour to keep the dish gluten-free.
For a crunchier texture, double coat the steak by dipping it in the egg mixture and flour twice.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should read 145°F for medium-rare steak.
