Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In a shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour. In another dish, beat the eggs and mix in the milk. In a third dish, combine additional flour with paprika, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Steak

    Dredge each piece of steak in the flour, shaking off excess. Then dip into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat with the seasoned flour mixture.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  5. 5

    Fry the Steak

    Carefully place the breaded steak in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with your choice of gravy or sides.
