Method
To Prepare the Country Fried Steak
- 1
Tenderize the Steak
Using a meat mallet, pound the beef round steak until it is about 1/2 inch thick. This helps to tenderize the meat.
- 2
Marinate the Steak
Place the tenderized steak into a bowl and pour the buttermilk over it. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
- 3
Prepare the Coating
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well.
- 4
Coat the Steak
Remove the steak from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge the steak in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Set aside.
- 5
Fry the Steak
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the coated steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
