Chicken Fried Steak Ice Cream

Not just chicken fried steak a la mode, but chicken fried steak covered with a scoop of ice cream made from the schmutz from a deglazed pan in which the steak was cooked. It was, surprisingly, awful:

Flavorwise, this was hands down the most disgusting ice cream I’ve ever had the misfortune to taste. All my opining about the conceptual affinities between ice cream and cream gravy went out the window with the first bite of the meaty frozen custard. The melted ice cream, intended to simulate a rich cream gravy, tasted like fried beef crème anglaise. (Crème Texan?) I quickly flipped the aberrant dollop into the sink, where it landed with a dull, metallic thump.
