Wagyu Chicken Fried Steak — It's Fry-Day on the Farm

Tim's Recipe: The Ultimate Wagyu Chicken Fried Steak Experience

Fry-Day: A Culinary Tradition

Around here, any day can be Fry-Day. If you've only ever had chicken fried steak from a restaurant or a school cafeteria, you might not know what it can truly be. But when you make it with our Wagyu Tenderized Cutlets—raised right here on our farm in Serbin, Texas—it transforms into a dish your family will crave every single week.

Monday? Fry-Day. Wednesday? Fry-Day. Just ask Tim. If there's a cast iron skillet and a Wagyu Tenderized Cutlet within reach, it's Fry-Day.

A Farm-to-Table Feast

Our plates featured a 100% farm-to-table meal: Wagyu Tenderized Cutlet smothered in Tim's homemade cream gravy, sweet corn on the cob, and carrots straight from our garden. That’s a full farm meal! Everything on that plate came from right here (except for the flour and seasonings).

A complete meal from Weise Farms with homegrown carrots and sweet corn from the garden, featuring wagyu chicken-fried steak.

Tim's Culinary Passion

Last Friday was, in fact, a Friday. But honestly, that was just a coincidence. I want you to understand something about Tim. Since he retired, he has been cooking like a man on a mission. I'm talking low and slow, with a cast iron skillet seasoned just right and gravies that make you close your eyes in delight.

Tim can cook. He is as good as any chef, maybe even better. So when Tim decides it's Fry-Day, you know it’s going to be exceptional!

The Magic of Wagyu

Last Friday, Tim made chicken fried steak using our own Wagyu Tenderized Cutlets. If you've never had chicken fried steak made from Wagyu beef, let me tell you: this is not the chicken fried steak of your school cafeteria dreams. This is something else entirely.

Our Wagyu Tenderized Cutlets start right here on our farm in Serbin, Texas. We raise them from birth, without hormones or antibiotics. When it's time, our beef is processed in inspected facilities, ensuring you can feel good about every single bite. We raise them, we know exactly where they go, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Tim's Wagyu Chicken Fried Steak Recipe

You'll need:

• 2 Weise Farms Wagyu Tenderized Cutlets

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour

• ¼ tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp black pepper

• ½ tsp salt

• 2 eggs

• ½ cup heavy cream

• Beef tallow for frying

  
  

For the gravy:

• ¼ cup pan drippings

• ¼ cup flour

• Heavy cream and milk to desired consistency

• Salt, black pepper, and onion powder to taste

  
  

To make it:

1. Mix flour, baking soda, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.

2. In a second bowl, whisk eggs and heavy cream together.

3. Dip each cutlet in the flour first, then the egg wash, and then press firmly back into the seasoned flour. Coat it well on both sides.

4. Let them rest for 30 minutes before frying.

5. Heat about half an inch of beef tallow in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

6. Fry each cutlet for 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden brown. Set on a wire rack while you make the gravy.

7. Leave drippings in the pan, whisk in flour, and cook for one minute.

8. Slowly pour in cream and milk, whisking constantly, until thick and creamy. Season generously.

9. Pour it over everything. Say a little prayer of thanks and enjoy!

   
   

Tim's Special Touches

A couple of things worth noting about what Tim does differently:

• The baking soda in the flour coating.

• The heavy cream instead of regular milk in the egg wash.

• The full 30-minute rest before the cutlets ever touch that skillet.

• And always, always—beef tallow.

  
  

Not just any tallow. Ours.

There is something about frying in your own Wagyu beef tallow that completes the circle in a way that's hard to explain. It started on our farm, and it ends on your plate. Every single step along the way—we know exactly what went into it.

Bringing Fry-Day Home
