I too cannot say what cut of meat it might be exactly.

In Texas chicken fried steak is usually round steak that has been
tenderized, fried or deep-fried and topped with cream gravy or sometimes
brown gravy. Most people here prefer the cream gravy and best served with
mashed potatoes. There is an upscale restaurant here in the Houston area
that prepares their chicken fried steak using rib-eyes.
