Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Tenderize the beef round steak with a meat mallet until about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour mixed with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Steak

    Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, then dip into the buttermilk mixture, and finally coat again with the flour mixture. Press lightly to adhere.

  4. 4

    Fry the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
