Country Fried Steak Recipe

Country Fried Steak

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Start by tenderizing the beef round steak. Use a meat mallet to pound the steak to about 1/2 inch thickness.

2. 2

   Season the Coating

   In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

3. 3

   Prepare the Egg Mixture

   In another bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until well combined.

4. 4

   Coat the Steaks

   Dredge each piece of steak first in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour to ensure a thick coating.

5. 5

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (around 350°F or 175°C).

6. 6

   Fry the Steak

   Carefully add the coated steaks to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

7. 7

   Drain the Steaks

   Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

8. 8

   Serve

   Serve hot with gravy on top if desired.
