Chicken Fried Steak Ingredients
Method
Directions for Chicken Fried Steak
- 1
Prepare the Marinade
In a shallow bowl, combine buttermilk with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add the beef cube steaks to the bowl, making sure they're well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Prepare the Coating
In another shallow dish, whisk together the flour with additional salt and pepper to taste. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.

Bread the Steaks
Remove the steaks from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each steak in the flour mixture, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat again with the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour.

Fry the Steaks
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded steaks in the skillet. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer cooked steaks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
