Country-fried describes a cooking style rooted in American Southern cuisine where meat — typically a tougher cut of beef or chicken — is coated in seasoned flour and deep-fried until golden and crispy. The most famous application is country-fried steak, a comfort food staple smothered in white gravy. The term evokes rural, home-style cooking that prioritises flavour and satisfaction over refinement, and carries warm associations with diners, farmhouses, and Southern hospitality.
