Ingredients:
1 (16-ounce size) boneless shell steak (also called New York strip steak, short loin or sirloin strip)
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
3 tablespoons finely minced shallots
6 tablespoons cognac or other good brandy, divided
2 tablespoons dry white wine or dry vermouth
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (preferably imported)
2 tablespoons A-1 steak sauce
1/2 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons finely snipped chives
Directions:
Trim all outside fat off the steak. The steak should now weigh about 12 ounces.
Cut the steak in half horizontally, creating 2 6-ounce steaks. Pound the steaks lightly to flatten them to 1/4-inch thick. Season them liberally on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat a 12-inch skillet until a drop of water dances on the surface. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter. As soon as the foam subsides, add the seasoned meat. Cook on each side for 1 minute. Remove to a plate. Immediately adjust the heat under the pan to low.
Add the second tablespoon of butter and the shallots. Saute the shallots for 1 minute. Increase the heat to high. Add 3 tablespoons cognac and flambe, if desired. Add the wine, and with a wooden spoon, scrape up any browning in the pan (deglaze the pan). Stir in the mustard and A-1 sauce.
Cook for about a minute, or until the liquid is reduced to a syrup. Add the broth and continue to boil for about a minute, until reduced to a few tablespoons. Add the cream and stir well to incorporate. Boil a few seconds.
Taste for seasoning and add freshly ground pepper to taste. Add the remaining cognac and ignite. When the flames die down, stir in the chives, taste for salt and pepper, and adjust if necessary. Add the reserved steaks and their juices (that have accumulated on the plate) to the simmering sauce. Turn the steaks in the sauce a couple of times, as the sauce reduces a little more. Place the steaks on individual plates. Divide the sauce on the steaks. Serve with mashed potatoes or brown rice, and some bread to mop up the sauce.

Make sure you pound your meat well prior to making CFS!
Basically IMHO round steak = liver.
Eggplant love, splattered juices.

round steak = boot leather.
I did it...chicken fried steak.
No photos, but damn it was good.
Pounded out the 'steak' to about 5mm...soaked in an egg/cream/beer/tabasco wash, and then dredged with 'dixie-fried' coating, spiced up with cayenne, white pepper, cumin, black pepper, and salt.
deep fried at 380, eight minutes, and served with fresh garlic/cheddar mashers, and smothered with a pork stock/pepper cream gravy, and green beans.
YUM.
My heart hurts.

Sorry - I made the Recipe and wrote Chuck when I meant round. You want the leanest meat possible (which sux for steak, even burgers) because the raw fat tastes like tallow.
mmmm...tallow....fish n' chips.....
