Meat

2 pieces Beef Round Steak

Batter

1 cup 00 bread flour

2 large Eggs

1 cup Milk

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp Watkins garlic powder

Frying

2 cups Tuscany sunflower oil

Method

Preparing the Steak

Pound the Steak

Using a meat mallet, pound the beef round steak to about 1/2 inch thickness to tenderize.

Season the Steak

Sprinkle both sides of the steaks with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

Making the Batter

Prepare the Batter

In a shallow bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 beaten eggs, and 1 cup of milk. Mix until smooth.

Set Up Dredging Station

In another bowl, place 1 cup of all-purpose flour. This will be used for coating the steaks before dipping in the batter.

Frying the Steak

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, add 2 cups of vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Dredge and Fry

Take each steak, dredge in the flour, dip in the batter, then carefully place in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Drain the Steak

Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Making the Gravy (Optional)

Make the Roux

In the same skillet with leftover oil, add 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Stir constantly over medium heat until golden brown.

Add Milk

Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
