Ingredients
- 4 cube steaks
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 3 cups canola oil for frying
Instructions
- Using a meat tenderizing tool, pound both sides of each steak.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg.
- In another large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Mix in 3 tablespoons of the buttermilk mixture with a fork, making the dry mixture slightly crumbly.
- Dip each steak in the buttermilk & egg, making sure evenly coated, and let the excess drip off. Then dredge the steaks in the seasoned flour mixture, thoroughly coating each.
- Pour the canola oil into your large skillet or wok, and heat on your stovetop at medium-high. Let oil come to temperature (should reach approx. 425 degrees).
- Gently shake each steak to remove any excess flour, and place them into the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and fry for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and fry for 4-5 more minutes. Each side should be golden brown.
- Top with white gravy.
