Classic Chicken Fried Steak with Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, and Veggies

Q: Can I bake the steaks instead of frying?
A: Yes! Coat and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, for a lighter version.

Q: Can I make this ahead?
A: You can prep potatoes and green beans ahead, but fry the steak and make gravy just before serving for best results.
