Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prep the Steak

   Pound the beef round steak to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into serving-size pieces.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   In one bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Bread the Steak

   Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, then dip it in the buttermilk mixture, and finally coat it again in the flour mixture.

4. 4

   Fry the Steak

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded steaks and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

   Make the Gravy

   In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until thickened. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.
