Method
Preparing the Steak
- 1
Marinate the Steak
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the beef cube steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Prepare the Breading
In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Season with additional salt and black pepper. Remove the marinated steaks from the refrigerator, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off.

Bread the Steaks
Dredge each steak in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres. Shake off any excess flour.

Fry the Steaks
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded steaks. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Cooking the Eggs

Prepare the Eggs
In a non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, or to your desired doneness (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat.

Smash or Crisp the Potatoes
For Smash'd! American potatoes, lightly mash the cooked potatoes with a fork and mix with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional fresh herbs. For crispy potatoes, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet and roast at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes until crispy.
