Ingredients

  • 4 to 6 pieces of cubed steak
  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • Weber Steak 'n Chop seasoning (to taste)
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • Cooking oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Tempering the Meat: Remove the cubed steak from the package and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even frying.
  2. Set Up Breading Station: Place the self-rising flour in a shallow pie plate or dish. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk.
  3. Season: Generously season both sides of the steaks with steak seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Dredge: Dip each steak into the egg and buttermilk mixture, then into the flour. Press the flour firmly into the meat to ensure a thick, even coating.
  5. Rest: Let the breaded steaks sit for about 5 minutes. This helps the breading "set" so it doesn't fall off during frying.
  6. Fry: Heat 1/2-inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the steaks for 3 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed to keep the crust golden brown without burning.
  7. Serve: Remove the steaks to a paper-towel-lined plate. Save those delicious pan drippings to make Master Cookbook Recipe #613 White Milk Gravy to smother over the top!

Notes

Don't crowd the pan! If you're cooking several steaks, fry them in batches to maintain the oil temperature for a perfectly crispy finish.
