Nothing gives me a bigger buzz than if someone compliments my cooking. Except when its one of my kids. My daughter (the fussy one) has complimented me on my baking or sweets (sometimes) but its my son who is the good eater and is always saying how much he likes my food. He doesn’t see food as a ‘currency’ to manipulate me or to avoid eating. He is just hungry and loves what I cook.
I had planned on cooking these pork fillet steaks Panko crumbed like a schnitzel but time was getting on and I remembered the Chicken Fried Steak that is so popular in the States. When I first heard of it when I was there I was thinking “is it chicken or is it steak?”. What is this “chicken fried steak” everyone speaks of? When I tried it, I couldn’t quite get my head around it nor the white ‘gravy’ but it was pretty good. To save me a bit of time, I decided not to crumb the pork this night but dip the steaks in beaten eggs flavoured with herbs and then dredged in flour, then repeat.
The result was a delicious, crunchy flavoursome pork steak which made my son say that if I was ever in a cooking competition again, I have to cook this. Can’t get better than that. And I’m dying to try this again with chicken (or is that beef)?

Yum, these look delicious. Pork is good, crunchy is even better.
Nice one Anne! I must admit to not being much of a pork eater (unless it's bacon) – I never quite know how to cook it so it's not too dry or bland, but these look really good & I reckon the kids might go for it too! 🙂
This looks so so good. I have such a hard time with pork. It always turns out tough because I likely over cook it.
Great recipe!Looks delicious…

Pork chops are my all time favorite! These looks so good! I know what we're having for dinner tomorrow. So glad you shared your recipe at Rock ‘N Share! Have a Happy Hump Day(Wednesday)! Blessings, D@TheShadyPorch
Don't you just love it when the kids love the food you make …my son sounds like your son!
Anne, with all the cooking I do I have never made anything from pork (except bacon and sausage)..no pork chops, pork loin, etc. I should give it a try sometime! 😀
