Country Fried Steak Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Tenderize the beef round steak by pounding it with a meat mallet to about 1/2 inch thickness. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, combine buttermilk and eggs. In another bowl, mix flour with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Steak

    Dip each piece of steak first into the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Repeat for all pieces.

  4. 4

    Fry the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded steaks. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried steak from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot, topped with gravy if desired.
