Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Steaks
Pound the beef round steaks with a meat mallet until they are about 1/2 inch thick. Season each steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
- 2
Set Up Breading Station
In one shallow dish, add the flour, cornstarch, paprika, and remaining salt and pepper. In another shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs.
- 3
Bread the Steaks
Dip each steak first into the flour mixture, then into the buttermilk mixture, and back into the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil is hot enough when a small pinch of flour sizzles upon contact.
- 5
Fry the Steaks
Carefully place the breaded steaks into the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the skillet.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
