Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Steak

    Dip each piece of steak into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered steak into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the steak from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of gravy or sides.
