Anyone know where I can get the exact recipe for Clanton's chicken fried steak?

Clanton's Cafe (in Vinita, Oklahoma) was featured on the Food Network. Also,a February 2006 Gourmet magazine article recognized Clanton鈥檚 Caf茅 for serving the best chicken fried steak on Route 66.Anyone know where I can get the exact recipe for Clanton's chicken fried steak?
This isnt the recipe, but I think it might help. I found it on their website.





Clanton's chicken fried steak starts with what the Patricks call an ';extra tenderized'; cube steak they get from Tulsa. The beef patty is dipped in a mixture of egg and buttermilk, then dredged once in seasoned flour. ';If you double-dip,'; Patrick says, referring to a common practice of repeating this process a second time, ';you will get a steak that looks bigger. But it takes you farther away from the flavor of the beef.'; The steak is cooked on a flat griddle in vegetable oil until the blood starts rising up through the flour, then flipped and finished. The edge of a fork effortlessly will sever it into a bite-size triangle with beefy, crisp-crusted luxury that is ineffably amplified when it's pushed through mashed potatoes and peppery cream gravy.Anyone know where I can get the exact recipe for Clanton's chicken fried steak?

********CHICKEN FRIED STEAK


2 pkg. tenderized cube or round steak


1 c. whole milk


1 1/2 c. flour


2 tsp. salt


1 tbsp. black pepper


1 1/2 - 2 c. cooking oil


Good heavy skillet


I start heating my skillet first and when it gets warmed up (7 minutes), I add my cooking oil and let it heat also. While that is heating up, I get the steak ready, pound each steak with the side of a mallet or palm of your hand until very thin. Place steaks (2 at a time) in shallow dish containing milk. Next, mix the flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Remove steak from milk, dredge in flour mixture, place into skillet and brown on both sides. Continue cooking until all steaks are cooked.


CREAM GRAVY:


1/3 c. hot steak drippings


1/4 c. flour


2 c. milk


Salt and pepper to taste


I use another skillet, let it get hot and add steak drippings, flour, salt and pepper. Stir with wire whisk until blended. Next add 2 cups milk, continuing to stir until gravy thickens. Serve with chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes.
